Detection and monitoring of postinterventional success and complications of the liver using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) – a case report after interventional treatment of a giant hemangioma

Abstract

This case report relates the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for the assessment and treatment of a postinterventional cholecystitis, a rare but important complication after transcatheter arterial embolization of a giant hemangioma. Regarding the imaging diagnosis, hemangiomas have specific features allowing a fast recognition by all radiological modalities,and in recent years, especially by CEUS.
