| Core Tip |
Diagnosing focal liver lesions (FLLs) is a part of everyday practice, and therefore the cost-effectiveness of their diagnosis is important. Our study compared the costs of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing the biological nature of FLL. We have proven significant savings when using CEUS instead of MRI. The costs of CEUS and CT examinations can be considered comparable. There exist additional parameters which influence the efficacy of individual modalities. |
