SonoVue CEUS could provide similar diagnostic performance to other imaging modalities (CECT and CEMRI) for the assessment of FLLs. Economic analyses indicated that CEUS was a cost-effective replacement for CEMRI. The use of CEUS instead of CECT was considered cost-effective in the surveillance of cirrhosis and the characterisation of incidentally detected FLLs, with similar costs and effects for the detection of liver metastases from CRC

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been considered as an important therapy for small renal lesions. The main limitation of RFA, however, is the lack of pathologic confirmation of complete tumor eradication. A single center, open label, randomized pilot study was designed to evaluate whether contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) with Sonovue, performed in real time could allow us to determine the end point during laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (LRFA) and the clinical outcome of this method.

CEUS with SonoVue allows an early evaluation of atypical or complex cystic renal masses. It is an additional examination to MS-CT. Due to the dynamic examination, additional information about perfusion of the cystic septa or cystic renal cancer can be gained.
