Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The present study aims to investigate the role of CEUS in evaluating liver lesions with atypical characteristics on contrast-enhanced CT or MRI. All patients enrolled in the study underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Based on CEUS characteristics, atypical nodules will be categorized according to CEUS LI-RADS classification.

- measure
- The role of CEUS in evaluating atypic liver lesions on contrast-enhanced CT or MRI.
- timeFrame
- Between January 2018 and January 2023
- description
- The primary endpoint is to assess the contrastographic behaviour of nodules suspected of HCC and defined as atypical by contrast-enhanced CT and MRI, using CEUS. Prevalence of CEUS LI-RADS categories among atypical nodules will be described.
