Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Knowing the tumor size before operation is of great significance to the choice of treatment methods of surgeons and the prognosis of patients. In this study, two commonly used imaging methods( CE-MRI/CEUS) were selected to measure and compare the tumor size before operation, in order to determine which measurement method is more accurate.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A total of 194 patients who met the inclusion criteria from January 2019 through May 2024 were included. Taken pathological results as the gold standard, Paired T-test and Bland-Altman analisis were conducted to assess the correlation and mean absolute error between the measured tumor sizes obtained from CE-MRI/CEUS and pathological results.

CEUS

The patients who underwent CEUS before liver resection

ceus

Intervention Type RADIATION

MRI was performed by using a superconducting magnet scanner operated at 3.0 T (GE discovery MR750w, USA) and the CEUS examination (Mindray, China), ultrasound was performed first in B-mode to identify the suspicious lesions and then switched to contrast mode prior to the injection of the contrast medium.
