Abstract
Background and Aims Kupffer-phase imaging visualized by perfluorobutane (Sonazoid) distribution into normal liver tissues upon phagocytosis by Kupffer cells potentially aids in improving detection of liver metastasis compared with fundamental B-mode EUS (FB-EUS). However, the diagnostic performance of Kupffer-phase imaging in contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (CH-EUS) remains unclear. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of...
