Abstract

With the rising number of percutaneous ablation therapies in malignant liver lesions there is a need of reliable diagnostics after the intervention to differentiate between reactive changes and tumor. To assess the success of percutaneous ablation therapies for malignant liver lesions using CEUS with perfusion analysis. Retrospective analysis of perfusion analysis for 67 patients with 94 malignant liver lesions, treated with ablation therapies. The lesions were 70 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), 18 metastases, 4 cholangiocellular carcinomas (CCC), 2 lesions remained unclear. CEUS was performed after bolus injection of 1.6-2.4 ml of sulfur-hexafluoride microbubbles. The perfusion analysis was calculated using Peak, TTP, mTT and AUC with integrated software during the late arterial to early portal-venous phase for approximately 9 sec (5-15 sec). For the evaluation of the success after percutaneous treatment the perfusion results were compared to the follow-up control after 6 months with CT and MRI and CEUS. Perfusion analyses after percutaneous treatment of malignant liver lesions showed highly significant perfusion differences when comparing the center to the surrounding tissue and the margins (p<0.0001) for Peak and also for A...Continue Reading
