Role Of Magnetic Resonance Elastography In Assessing Hepatic Fibrosis

diagnosis 390/506 (77.1%) vs. 207/223 (92.8%) (p<0.0001),conclusive for the differentiation benign vs. malignant 449/506 (88.7%) vs. 213/223 (95.5%) (p=0.0032).Conclusion: In our study, CEUS was conclusive in approximately 82% of the FLL and the benign or malignant character of a lesion was demonstrated in approximately 91% of cases.Thus, when faced to an uncharacteristic FLL on standard ultrasound examination, our local strategy is to perform CEUS as first-line investigation (thus avoiding other expensive examinations) and only in unclear cases to perform contrast enhanced CT or MRI.
