“…B-mode US is useful for the screening of liver diseases but cannot demonstrate tumor vascularity. Color Doppler imaging reveals the arterial pulsating flows, such as a basket pattern flow and a ''spot'' pattern flow, for hepatic tumor differentiation [180,181]. However, color Doppler US does not detect pulsatile flow in some HCCs.…”

Introduction The Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) convened an international working party on the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in December 2008 to develop consensus recommendations. Methods The working party consisted of expert hepatologist, hepatobiliary surgeon, radiologist, and oncologist from Asian-Pacific region, who were requested to make drafts prior to the consensus meeting held at Bali, Indonesia on 4 December 2008. The quality of existing evidence and strength of recommendations were ranked from 1 (highest) to 5 (lowest) and from A (strongest) to D (weakest), respectively, according to the Oxford system of evidence-based approach for developing the consensus statements. 123Hepatol Int (2010) 4: 439-474 DOI 10.1007/s12072-010-9165-7 Results Participants of the consensus meeting assessed the quality of cited studies and assigned grades to the recommendation statements. Finalized recommendations were presented at the fourth APASL single topic conference on viral-related HCC at Bali, Indonesia and approved by the participants of the conference.

“…Tanaka et al 5 described a color Doppler (CD) pattern of fast pulsating blood flow of 70 to 90 cm/s (maximal velocity) in arteries entering the tumor; these arteries formed a fine blood flow network surrounding the tumor (basket pattern) in HCC that was visible on CD sonography. A basket pattern and vessels within the tumor were observed only in HCC.…”

Objective. To present the sonographic appearance of hepatocellular carcinoma imaged with the intravenous contrast agent Levovist. Methods. We reviewed our experience using Levovist (Schering AG, Berlin, Germany) for the sonographic diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Results. Contrastenhanced sonography with Levovist facilitated detailed evaluation of tumor vascularity in hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusions. Contrast-enhanced sonography with Levovist enhances the role of sonography in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. It provides detailed information about tumor vascularity and the contrast enhancement pattern.

“…Color Doppler flow imaging and pulsed Doppler techniques offer some value in the differentiation of DN and small HCC. Previous study thought that pulsatile blood flow in the nodules, pulsatile afferent arterial blood flow, and continuous efferent blood flow are typical color Doppler flow imaging manifestations of HCC [4]. Recent progresses in color power Doppler increase the detection rate of flow signals even in small HCCs (76% -85%) [5,6].…”

In recent years, the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been increasing worldwide, and its high mortality seriously threatens public health. Early detection and treatment are crucial to improving the survival rate. Imaging examination widely used for the diagnosis of HCC and provides a non-invasive means of tumor visualization. The rapid development of medical imaging technology is expected to improve early-stage diagnosis rates for HCC. This article summarizes the methods for the differential diagnosis of pre-malignant dysplastic nodule (DN) and small hepatocellular carcinoma during the carcinogenesis of cirrhosis and reviews their application. In addition, a discussion on some recently patented medical imaging development was also presented.
