Zusammenfassung

Objectives: To evaluate the value of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the characterization of so called “focal fatty liver“ previously identified with conventional ultrasound (US). Methods: From April 2005 to January 2006, 21 healthy subjects (13 males; mean age 50±12yrs) with a single hepatic nodule diagnostic for focal fatty liver at conventional US were studied. No patient had virus related hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, diabetes mellitus, dislipidemia or history of neoplastic disease. All patients underwent CEUS, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and/or US-guided fine-needle biopsy with cutting-needle,…
