Purpose: Intraoperative US characterization of liver tumor morphology and surrounding tissue before surgical resection using ARFI and CEUS. Material and methods: Intraoperative US during elective liver tumor surgery performed by one experienced radiologist using multifrequency linear probes (6 – 9 MHz). Localisation and characterization by B-mode, ARFI and Io-CEUS. ARFI values for characterization of tissue stiffness collected placing 5 ROIs in the tumor's center and 5 ROIs in the surrounding tissue. Tumor characterization by Io-CEUS after bolus injections of max. 5 ml sulphur hexaflourid microbubbles. Wash-in-/…
