Clinical Trial: Comparative Diagnostic Yield of Contrast-Enhanced Versus Conventional Ultrasound Guidance for Coaxial Biopsy of Hepatic Lesions

U.S., Nov. 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07249268) titled 'Comparative Diagnostic Yield of Contrast-Enhanced Versus Conventional Ultrasound Guidance for Coaxial Biopsy of Hepatic Lesions' on Nov. 17.

Brief Summary: This study compared two methods used to guide needle biopsies of suspicious lumps (lesions) in the liver. A biopsy is a procedure where a small sample of tissue is taken to make a diagnosis. Doctors often use standard ultrasound (US) to see the lesion and guide the needle. Another method uses a special dye (contrast agent) injected into a vein during the ultrasound, which is called contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). The dye helps blood vessels and the lesion "light up" on the s...
