Core Tip

Core tip: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is a novel and promising technique. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging improves the preoperative staging of hepatocellular carcinoma and may help guide treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, and may help to guide individualized treatments and assist surgeons in evaluating the safety and radicality of operation.
