Contrast-enhanced Ultrasonography for Surveillance of Radiofrequency-ablated Renal Tumors: A Prospective, Radiologist-blinded Pilot Study
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To prospectively evaluate the performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) for surveillance after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of small renal masses by comparing CEUS to the contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), the current gold standard.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients underwent surveillance after RFA of small renal masses (≤4 cm) consisting of CECT scans at 3 and 6 months and every 6 months thereafter. …
