Abstract

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) for focal liver lesions. Methods PubMed and CNKI database were searched for English and Chinese language articles related to CEUS and CECT diagnosis for focal liver lesions. Data were analyzed with Metadisc software. Results A total of 2041 specimens were included in CEUS group and the sensitivity, specificity and the AUC of weighted summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was 89.00%, 88.00% and 0.9666, respectively; 686 specimens were included in CECT group and the sensitivity, specificity and the AUC of weighted SROC curve was 93.00%, 84.00% and 0.9610, respectively. Conclusion The accuracy of CEUS and CECT has no difference in diagnosis of focal liver lesions.
