Pancreatic cancer liver metastasis mimicking focal nodular hyperplasia. A case report.

Metastases to the liver from gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are varied in their presentation and echogenicity on ultrasound. We present a case of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with sporadic neuroendocrine differentiation and metastasis to the liver, referred for inclusion in a clinical study. Standard ultrasound showed two hypoechoic focal liver lesions.

Intracavitary Applications for CEUS in PTCD.

Intracavitary contrast-enhanced ultrasound is widely accepted as a highly informative, safe, and easily reproducible technique for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of different pathologies of the biliary tree. This review article describes the diverse applications for CEUS in intracavitary biliary scenarios, supported by a literature review of the utilization of the method in indications like biliary obstruction by various etiologies, including postoperative strictures, evaluation of the biliary tree of liver donors, and evaluation of the localization of a drainage catheter. We also provide pictorial examples of the authors' personal experience with the use of intracavitary CEUS in cases of PTCD as a palliative intervention.

The use of simulation in medical ultrasound: Current perspectives on applications and practical implementation (WFUMB state-of-the-art paper).

Simulation has been shown to improve clinical learning outcomes, speed up the learning process, and improve trainee confidence, while taking the pressure off initial face-to-face patient clinical areas. The second part of The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology state-of-the-art paper on the use of simulators provides a general approach on the practical implementation. The importance of needs assessment before developing a simulation-based training program is outlined.

Gallbladder polyp (GBP) is a common yet often incidental finding in abdominal imaging. Gallbladder cancer is a rare disease with a high mortality due to late onset of symptoms and diagnostics. Most GBPs are pseudopolyps which do not undergo malignant transformation, however some are true neoplastic polyps with a malignant potential.

Ablation therapy for patients with colorectal liver metastases with and without extrahepatic metastases: evaluation of long-term outcomes and prognostic factors.

Purpose: Ablation is a valuable treatment alternative to surgery for colorectal liver metastases. This study reports the long-term clinical outcomes in patients treated with ablation for colorectal liver metastases with or without extrahepatic metastases.

Methods: Patients with colorectal liver metastases treated with ultrasound-guided ablation at Herlev Hospital, Denmark were included in this retrospective study.
