Improved methods of the contrast-enhanced ultrasound in patient with chronic viral hepatitis

Abstract

Rationale. The article presents the data obtained by an improved method of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in patients with chronic viral hepatitis.

Methods. We compared the quantitative and qualitative CEUS parameters in 2 groups of patients: the 1^st group was administered 2.5 ml of the contrast agent, and the 2^nd group was administered 1.0 ml of the contrast agent.

Results. The results showed that the quantitative parameters had no statistical differences in the arterial and portal phases.

Conclusion. The parameters of the late venous phase were not clinically significant, since the study objective included the assessment of diffuse liver disease, not focal liver lesions.
