Estratto
La recente introduzione dei mezzi di contrasto a base di microbolle e lo sviluppo di tecniche ecografiche contrasto-specifiche hanno aperto nuove prospettive nella diagnostica ecografica del fegato. La European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) ha recentemente stilato una serie di linee guida relative all’impiego dei mezzi di contrasto ecografici a livello epatico in seguito ad una consensus conference tenutasi nel corso dell’anno 2004 [1]. Tali linee guida definiscono le indicazioni e le raccomandazioni relative all’uso dei mezzi di contrasto ecografici nella caratterizzazione delle lesioni focali epatiche incidentali oppure identificate in pazienti con epatopatia cronica o con anamnesi di neoplasia primitiva, nell’identificazione delle lesioni secondarie a livello epatico e nella valutazione del trattamento ablativo [1, 2].
