| Description | The aim was to compare retrospectively different imaging modalities (CEUS, CT, MR) and to determine the hit rate of these modalities with regard to histological diagnose and with respect to distinguish between benign and malignant lesion in general; the proposal of optimal diagnostic algorithm of focal liver lesions. Our sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and hit rates well correlate with those described in literature, confiming that CEUS is meaningful diagnostic tool in the diagnostic algortithm of focal liver lesions. |
