Intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) is the most accurate diagnostic technique for staging hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but has low accuracy in differentiating the new nodules detected in the cirrhotic liver. The aim of this preliminary report is to evaluate whether contrast-enhanced intraoperat
## Abstract ## Purpose. To report contrastβenhanced sonography (CEUS) for solitary necrotic nodule (SNN) of the liver and to assess its clinical value. ## Methods. CEUS was performed in 17 patients with pathologically proven SNN. Contrast pulse sequencing and the contrast agent SonoVue were used
The spectrum of so-called space-occupying small (0.5-2.5 cm) sizable nodules arising in the cirrhotic liver includes a series of hyperplastic (large regenerative), dysplastic (low-and high-grade dysplastic), and malignant hepatocellular (well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) nodules. Ma
