The imaging studies including the computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography are effective for the diagnosis and the management of metastases. Clinical studies report that the use of a contrast agent enables the visualization of metastases with significant improved sensitivity and specificity. The aim of this article is to discuss the importance of this technology for diagnosis, and management of liver metastases.
In cases with liver metastases, intervention is necessary accompanied by detailed follow-up imaging examination is for relevant medical treatment or surgical intervention. Although computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful for diagnosing, these modalities are expensive and there are some risks associated with the contrast agents used as well as radiation exposure. The development of ultrasound contrast agents with…
