Objective: To assess the difference between two-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (2D-CEUS) and three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (3D-CEUS) in evaluating hepatic arteries in the liver transplantation. Patients and Methods: Both 2D-CEUS and 3D-CEUS were used to examine 26 liver transplantation donors and recipients. 15 patients who were confirmed by CTA or DSA or MRA were analyzed. The image's quality and diagnostic levels of 2D-CEUS and3D-CEUS were compared, and the diagnostic information about anatomic features of hepatic arteries provided by the two methods was evaluated. Results:…
