Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography guidance avoids US-CT/MR fusion error for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma
CEUS combined with fusion imaging provides detailed information on viable HCCs and their feeding arteries. CEUS-guided RFA avoids fusion imaging errors and achieves comparable efficacy in both US-conspicuous and US-inconspicuous HCCs.
