Abstract
In this series of papers on comments and illustrations of the World Federation for Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) guidelines on contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) the topics of non-infectious and non-neoplastic focal liver lesions (FLL) are discussed. Improved detection and characterization of common FLL are the main topics of these guidelines but detailed and illustrating information is missing. The focus in this paper is on non-infectious and non-neoplastic FLL and their appearance on B-mode, Doppler ultrasound and CEUS features. Knowledge of these data should help to raise awareness of these rarer findings, to think of these clinical pictures in the corresponding clinical situation, to interpret the ultrasound images correctly and thus to initiate the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic steps in time.
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to promote ultrasound diagnosis by publishing papers in a variety of categories, including editorial letters, original papers, review articles, pictorial essays, technical developments, case reports, letters to the editor or occasional special reports (fundamental, clinical as well as methodological and educational papers).
The papers published cover the whole spectrum of the applications of diagnostic medical ultrasonography, including basic science and therapeutic applications.
The journal hosts information regarding the society''s activities, scheduling of accredited training courses in ultrasound diagnosis, as well as the agenda of national and international scientific events.
