Monitoring after radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors: contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) vs. contrast-enhanced computer tomography (CECT), two days after procedure.

CONCLUSION: The quality of tumor residue detection in 48-h CEUS was comparable to that of 48-h CECT. This finding suggests the CEUS being a feasible substitute for CECT. Both methods show reasonable sensitivity; therefore this timing seems to be appropriate for the first post-treatment control while also allowing for early retreatment if residual tumor tissue is found.
