AI Article Synopsis
- The paper series reviews the WFUMB guidelines on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), particularly focusing on identifying bacterial infections.
- While the guidelines aim to improve the detection of common focal liver lesions (FLL), they lack detailed information, which this paper seeks to address.
- The study emphasizes understanding ultrasound characteristics of infectious FLL to enhance awareness, interpretation, and timely intervention in clinical settings.
Article Abstract
In this series of papers on comments and illustrations of the World Federation for Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) guidelines on contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) the topics of bacterial infections are discussed. Improved detection and characterization of common focal liver lesions (FLL) are the main topics of these guidelines but detailed and illustrating information is missing. The focus in this paper on infectious (bacterial) focal liver lesions is on their appearance on B-mode and Doppler ultrasound and CEUS features. Knowledge of these data should help to raise awareness of these rarer findings, to think of these clinical pictures in the corresponding clinical situation, to interpret the ultrasound images correctly and thus to initiate the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic steps in time.
