Purpose: To evaluate the late phase of CEUS in comparison to MRI with Gd-BOPTA in the characterization of focal liver lesions in terms of benignity and malignancy. Methods and material: 66 focal liver lesions (4 adenomas, 7 haemangiomas, 11 FNH, 4 regenerative nodules, 28 HCCs, 10l metastases, 2 cholangiocarcinomas) were studied with CEUS by using a 2nd generation microbubbles (Sonovue, Bracco, Italy) and MRI performed with 1.5 T machine with Gd-BOPTA (Multihance, Bracco, Milan, Italy). All malignant lesions were cito/hystologically proven. All benign lesions were followed-up. Sensitivity, specificity, positive…
