Key Words Hepatocellular carcinoma; Ultrasound imaging; Histology; Tumor growth monitoring; Tumor volumetry
Core Tip High frequency ultrasound is a rapid, low-cost, minimally invasive tool for serial volumetric monitoring of orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma that correlates well with terminal histology and can match micro computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for gross tumor size, but it lacks cellular resolution and remains operator-dependent. To increase translational impact, future work should standardize acquisition and training, perform multimodal validation in subset cohorts (histology, micro CT/MRI), and adopt contrast-enhanced/photoacoustic imaging, along with automated radiomics/artificial intelligence segmentation to reduce bias and improve sensitivity.
