All patients underwent B-mode US followed by SEUS. The radiologist evaluated\u00a0the number of detected lesions, presence of necrosis, conspicuity of target lesion and technical feasibility using 4-point\u00a0scale. Technical failure and occurrence of change of the target were also assessed. Computer tomography (CT) or magnetic\u00a0resonance (MR) images were the reference techniques. Results: The mean number of lesions detected on CT and MR images\u00a0was 6.5\u00b18.4. In 20 (50%) of 40 patients, more focal lesions were detected on SEUS. Targeted lesion was changed in sixpatients (15%) on SEUS. Mean number of detected lesions on SEUS was significantly higher comparing with B-US (5.1\u00b16.2\u00a0vs. 2.8\u00b13.8, p&lt;0.001). Conspicuity of the targeted lesion was improved in 67.5% (27 of 40) on SEUS and significantly more\u00a0visualized than B-US (3.6\u00b10.8 vs. 2.8\u00b10.9, p&lt;0.001). In 7 more patients the necrosis within the lesion was visualized (17.5%)\u00a0using SEUS. The technical feasibility on SEUS was significantly higher than B-US (2.3\u00b11.0 vs. 3.3\u00b10.9, p&lt;0.001). Technical\u00a0failure was observed in only one patient (2.5%).Conclusions: SEUS is a helpful technique for planning the hepatic biopsyin terms of detection, improving lesion conspicuity, tumor viable portion assessment and consequently higher operator confidence,\u00a0compared with B-US.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.11152\/mu-1744","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,12]],"date-time":"2019-02-12T07:08:12Z","timestamp":1549955292000},"page":"109","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Usefulness of contrast-enhanced ultrasound using perfluorobutanecontaining microbubbles as a planning for percutaneous biopsies of focal hepatic lesions: a prospective feasibility study"],"prefix":"10.11152","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Sang Min","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jung Hoon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyun Kyung","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyo-Jin","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joon Koo","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"4840","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,2]]},"container-title":["Medical Ultrasonography"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/medultrason.ro\/medultrason\/index.php\/medultrason\/article\/viewFile\/1744\/1324","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/medultrason.ro\/medultrason\/index.php\/medultrason\/article\/viewFile\/1744\/1324","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,6]],"date-time":"2019-05-06T14:47:08Z","timestamp":1557154028000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/medultrason.ro\/medultrason\/index.php\/medultrason\/article\/view\/1744"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,2]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,2]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.11152\/mu-1744","relation":{},"ISSN":["2066-8643","1844-4172"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2066-8643","type":"electronic"},{"value":"1844-4172","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,2]]}}}
