ABSTRACT
Objective To compare three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasound ( 3DCEUS) fusion imaging and computed tomography ( CT ) fusion imaging in evaluating ablation margin ( AM ) after radiofrequency ablation ( RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC) . Methods The 3DCEUS images of 60 patients before and after RFA were collected . The AM was evaluated by the self-developed 3DCEUS fusion imaging technique . The consistency of AM evaluation was compared between 3DCEUS and CT fusion imaging . The risk factors of local tumor progression ( LTP) including AM were analyzed . Results The registration success rate of 3DCEUS fusion imaging was 96 .7% ( 58/60) . Thirty-one cases were in the AM<5 mm group ,and 27 cases were in the AM ≥5 mm group . The consistency of AM evaluation between 3DCEUS and CT fusion imaging was good ( Kappa coefficient = 0 .895 , P < 0 .001) . During a follow-up period ranging 4 .2 to 18 months ,LTP was identified in 5 tumors (8 .6% ,5/58) .The incidence of LTP with the AM<5 mm was higher than that with the AM ≥5 mm ( P =0 .033) . Conclusions 3DCEUS fusion imaging is feasible for AM evaluation immediately after RFA with high consistency with CT fusion imaging . AM<5 mm evaluated on 3DCEUS fusion immediately after RFA is a risk factor for LTP .
