Comparison of Contrast ‐enhanced Transabdominal Ultrasonography Following Endoscopic Ultrasonography with GD‐EOB‐DTPA‐enhanced MRI for the Sequential Diagnosis of Liver Metastasis in Patients with Pancreatic Cancer

ConclusionEOB-MRI had a higher sensitivity than CE-US for diagnosing liver metastasis in patients with pancreatic cancer, but CE-US following CH-EUS demonstrated a higher specificity and PPV than EOB-MRI and was especially useful in the differentiation between liver metastasis and abscess.
