Ultrasound model predicts liver disease progress

AuntMinnie

A predictive model combining multiple ultrasonic parameters could discriminate between different liver diseases in a study published March 19 in Radiology. These findings are important for noninvasive assessment of the MAFLD disease process,” the Liu team wrote. The results have been promising when compared to liver biopsy.

CEUS adds to locoregional therapy for liver disease

AuntMinnie

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can improve locoregional therapy for treating metastatic disease of the liver, according to early study results presented April 10 at UltraCon. When we add the ultrasound-triggered microbubble destruction, we’re increasing the tumor cell death, hopefully sensitizing these tumors,” Wessner said.
