摘      要：It is an era of diagnostic and interventional ultrasound (US).Various new techniques such as three-dimensional US(3D US),interventional US,and contrastenhanced US(CEUS)have been introduced into clinical *** and his colleagues have taken advantage of these techniques and carried out a series of relevant *** use of 3D US in the liver,gallbladder,liver tumor volumetry,guidance for ablation,and 3D CEUS has widened the application of 3D US in the *** found that prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)after thermal ablation with curative intent was determined by treatment response to ablation,pretreatment serum AFP,and liver function *** response to treatment was the most predictive factor for long-term *** compared the use of percutaneous microwave ablation and radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of HCC and found that both are effective methods in treating *** local tumor control,complications related to treatment, and long-term survival were equivalent for the two *** first compared the enhancement patterns of HCC and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)and proposed the diagnostic clues for ICC,liver angiomyolipoma(AML),gallbladder cancer,renal carcinoma,and renal AML,which have greatly enhanced the role ofCEUS in the *** also evaluated the diagnostic performance of CEUS in characterizing complex cystic focal liver lesions and the agreement between two investigators with different experience levels;and found that CEUS is especially useful for the young *** assessed the effect of anti-angiogenic gene therapy for HCC treated by microbubble-enhanced US exposure and concluded that gene therapy mediated by US exposure enhanced by a microbubble contrast agent may become a new treatment option for HCC.
