“…CEUS with microbubble contrast agents and contrast-specific US modes have been introduced to overcome the limitations of B-mode and color Doppler US. Several studies compared the diagnostic value of CEUS and CEMRI in focal liver lesions (15,16), but reports about their use in specifying hepatic hemangiomas are yet to be found. In some other studies, CEMRI rather than pathological evaluation was used as the gold standard for the final diagnosis (17,18).…”

“…However, there was a preference for not having follow‑up scans. Repeated imaging is associated with the CEUS process in around 20 percent of cases (as reported in the clinician interviews) whereas, a repeated scan is likely to be required less frequently following an initial contrast‑enhanced MRI or CT scan ( 11 ). Nevertheless, the strength of preference for avoiding a follow‑up scan was relatively small, as compared to the collective preference for the other characteristics associated with CEUS.…”

“…Advantages associated with CEUS include the availability of immediate results, low risk of serious adverse effects, and the avoidance of ionizing radiation ( 3 ; 4 ). However, there is an increased risk of follow‑up scans in selected patient groups ( 11 ). There is limited evidence documenting which component of the imaging process (CE-CT, CE-MRI, and CEUS) affects patients' experience, or the extent to which patients would be willing to trade between these different imaging characteristics.…”

Objectives: Differences in the process of using liver imaging technologies might be important to patients. This study aimed to investigate preferences for scanning modalities used in diagnosing focal liver lesions.Methods: A discrete choice experiment was administered to 504 adults aged ≥25 years. Respondents made repeated choices between two hypothetical scans, described according to waiting time for scan and results, procedure type, the chance of minor side-effects, and whether further scanning procedures were likely to be required. Choice data were analyzed using mixed-logit models with respondent characteristics used to explain preference heterogeneity.Results: Respondents preferred shorter waiting times, the procedure to be undertaken with a handheld scanner on a couch instead of within a body scanner, no side-effects, and no follow‑up scans (p ≤ .01). The average respondent was willing to wait an additional 2 weeks for the scan if it resulted in avoiding side-effects, 1.5 weeks to avoid further procedures or to be told the results immediately, and 1 week to have the scan performed on a couch with a handheld scanner. However, substantial heterogeneity was observed in the strength of preference for desirable imaging characteristics.Conclusions: An average individual belonging to a general population sub‑group most likely to require imaging to characterize focal liver lesions in the United Kingdom would prefer contrast‑enhanced ultrasound over magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography. Insights into the patient perspective around differential characteristics of imaging modalities have the potential to be used to guide recommendations around the use of these technologies.

This case report relates the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for the assessment and treatment of a postinterventional cholecystitis, a rare but important complication after transcatheter arterial embolization of a giant hemangioma. Regarding the imaging diagnosis, hemangiomas have specific features allowing a fast recognition by all radiological modalities,and in recent years, especially by CEUS.
