Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated how well contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can differentiate between benign periablational enhancement (BPE) and residual tumor (RT) after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with liver cancer.
- Out of 165 tumors from 124 patients, complete ablation was achieved in 89.1%, with RT showing significantly higher quantitative values in parameters such as peak intensity and time to peak, indicating better distinction from BPE.
- The findings suggest that using quantitative CEUS parameters, especially peak intensity and the ratio of peak intensity to base intensity, can help make quick and effective treatment decisions during RFA, potentially reducing hospital stays and costs.
