Ultrasonography plays an important role in liver surgery of colorectal cancer liver metastases. Recently, besides grey and doppler ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, elastography and infusion-image technique has developed and attracted increasing interest. Intraoperative ultrasonography is applied for tumor detection, localization and characterization. It is also used for liver resection and planning surgical strategy, which may improve surgical effect and safety.
