Zusammenfassung
Abstract Infective focal liver lesions (FLL) are commonly encountered in clinical practice, with bacterial hepatic abscesses accounting for half of the visceral abscesses diagnosed. Accurate diagnosis of suspected hepatic infections is imperative for selecting the most appropriate therapy and preventing complications. The current review aims to update on the use of ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to detect and characterize infective liver lesions.
