Ultrasound screening for small hepatomas : A prospective study

Abstract

Small hepatoma is defined as hepatocellular carcinoma less than 3cm in maximum diameter and fewer than 3 innumber. To assess the ability of ultrasound to detect small hepatomas, a prospectively study was done in a groupof patients with HBsAg-positive chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. Herein, we present 4 hypoechoic smallhepatomas detected on ultrasound and emphasize the role of real-time ultrasonography as a practical test formonitoring hepatoma high-risk, subjects.
