4:21 PM Abstract No. 136 Use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound after computed tomography –guided microwave ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma in our practice with magnetic resonance imaging and pathologic correlation
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a low cost and effective imaging modality that is accessible immediately post procedure which allows the clinician to instantly perform additional ablation of the tumor if a residual tumor is detected. CEUS can be an alternative to contrast enhanced CT in patients with underlying renal disease or iodine allergy. The purpose of this abstract is to share our experience with use of contrast enhanced ultrasound after microwave ablation for HCC with MRI correlation and posttransplant pathology.
