Abstract Aim The aim of this retrospective study is to report on the characteristics of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of primarily not detected hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) during the screening procedure of patients at risk. Methods Sixty-four patients with a finally solitary and histologically proven HCC not detected HCC during the screening procedure were retrospectively analyzed. Most of HCC lesions (90.6 %, 58/64) measured < 20 mm in diameter. All HCC lesions were not detected during the initial screening procedure but suspected using contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. The final gold standard was biopsy or surgery with histological examination. Results On CEUS, 62/64 (96.8 %) of HCC were characterized as an obviously hyperenhanced lesion in arterial phase, and 41/64 (64.1 %) of HCC were characterized as hypoenhancing lesions in the portal venous and late phases. During the arterial phase of CEUS, 96.8 % of HCC displayed homogeneous hyperenhancement. Knowing the CEUS and magnetic resonance imaging findings, 45/64 (70.3 %) could have been detected using B-mode ultrasound (BMUS). Conclusion BMUS as a screening procedure is generally accepted. Contrast-enhanced imaging modalities have improved detection and characterization of HCC. Homogeneous hyperenhancement during the arterial phase and mild washout are indicative for HCC in liver cirrhosis.

This review explores the classification and evaluation of suspicious renal lesions across several radiologic imaging modalities. Diagnostic medical sonography (DMS), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) are the primary modalities used to investigate questionable lesions found within the kidneys. Renal masses may range from completely benign to malignant. They are classified based on many different features and characteristics. These lesions may be simple cystic, complex cystic, or solid in nature. Masses may also exhibit varying degrees of vascularity, septations, and calcifications. The discussed imaging modalities have varying strengths, limitations, and implications for use. Imaging techniques may be used independently or in conjunction to best diagnose and treat a patient with a suspicious renal mass. The aim of this review was to describe the diagnostic value of the imaging modalities (DMS, CT, MRI, and CEUS) and their role in the evaluation of suspicious renal lesions.
