Colorectal Case Study: Contrast Enhanced Intraoperative US
52-year old female patient diagnosed and treated for colorectal cancer. She developed a liver metastasis, which was successfully treated with RF ablation. During follow up (with Intraoperative Transducer 8815), a small, new volume was detected. The recurrence was not seen on CT but was seen with CEUS.
* In the USA, contrast-enhanced ultrasound has not been market cleared by the FDA, with the exception of only select cardiac imaging applications. |
