Malignant Liver Tumors

CEUS in the portal venous and late phase after injection of SonoVue® considerably improves the characterization of liver tumors compared with conventional B mode ultrasound, leading to possible preoperative differentiation of malignant liver lesions from benign ones. In this chapter, we discussed contrast enhanced ultrasound features of some common malignant focal liver lesions, including hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, liver metastasis, as well as dysplasia nodulars in liver cirrhosis.
