Use of intra-procedural fusion imaging combining contrast-enhanced ultrasound using a perflubutane-based contrast agent and auto sweep three-dimensional ultrasound for guiding radiofrequency ablation and evaluating its efficacy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Use of intra-procedural fusion imaging combining contrast-enhanced ultrasound using a perflubutane-based contrast agent and auto sweep three-dimensional ultrasound for guiding radiofrequency ablation and evaluating its efficacy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Purpose This study evaluated the usefulness of intraprocedural contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)/ultrasound (US) fusion imaging using a perflubutane-based contrast agent combined with preprocedural auto sweep three-dimensional US to obtain volume data for guidance and evaluation of the therapeutic...
