摘要：

The authors investigated the effect of intermittent second-harmonic gray-scale (ISHGS) ultrasonography (US) with SH U 508A microbubbles on the conspicuity of focal liver lesions. Twenty-three patients were included in the study. Images were analyzed subjectively and quantitatively. Objective lesion conspicuity was increased. In 12 of the 15 patients with liver malignancy, gray-scale defects were seen in previously unsuspected areas. ISHGS US may improve the sensitivity of US for liver lesions.
