Purpose: The aim of this study is to asses the accuracy of Power Doppler US with time-signal curves in the evaluation of intralesional treatment of hepatic cancer and hepatic metastasis. Time-signal allow to diagnose a lesion by the intra or perilesional vascularization. In all patients the US examination was followed by biopsy and data obtained were compared. Methods and Materials: 40 patients with hepatic cancer or only hepatic metastasis with intralesional treatment with radiofrequency or alcholization were recruited for the study; before and after the treatment we studied with Power Doppler US with time/sign…
