Purpose: To evaluate if IO-CEUS and CCE allow a differentiation between malignant and benign liver lesions in comparison to histopathology. Material and methods: Retrospective evaluation of digitally stored intraoperative CEUS examinations. IO-CEUS and CCE of 49 liver lesions were compared to histopathology following surgical resection. Examinations were performed by one experienced examiner using a multifrequency linear probe (6 – 9 MHz, LOGIQ E9/GE). Loops of CEUS were evaluated during the arterial (15 – 45 s), the portal venous (60 – 90 s) and the late-venous phase (2 – 5 min). Characterization of the CCE usi…
