Abstract:
PURPOSE:To evaluate the usefulness of power Doppler ultrasonography (US) with a microbubble contrast agent in assessing the therapeutic response of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) treated with percutaneous radio-frequency (RF) ablation. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Forty patients with 45 nodular HCC lesions 1.0-3.8 cm in diameter underwent power Doppler US before and after intravenous injection of a microbubble contrast agent. The same procedures were repeated after US-guided percutaneous RF ablation. The results of these studies were compared with those of three-phase helical computed tomography (CT) performed immediately after RF ablation. RESULTS:Before RF ablation, nonenhanced power Doppler US demonstrated flow signals within tumor in 33 of 45 HCCs. After contrast agent administration, flow signals increased or newly appeared in all cases. After RF ablation, none of the ablated tumors showed intratumoral flow signals at nonenhanced power Doppler US, whereas six showed marginal intratumoral flow signals at contrast agent-enhanced power Doppler US. These six tumors were found to have small enhancing foci, suggestive of viable tumor, in corresponding areas at immediate follow-up CT. Additional RF ablation or transcatheter arterial chemoembolization was performed in these tumors. CONCLUSION:The results of power Doppler US with a microbubble contrast agent in HCCs treated with RF ablation correlated well with those of contrast-enhanced CT. Preliminary data suggest that contrast-enhanced power Doppler US can be a promising noninvasive technique for assessing therapeutic response.
