| Core Tip |
From the results of previous studies, Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has shown a satisfactory diagnostic value. However, a unified conclusion on the interobserver stability of this innovative ultrasound imaging has not been determined. In this article, we included 8 relevant articles to exploring interobserver agreement of LI-RADS on CEUS by making a meta-analysis. Lastly, meta-analysis results revealed that the summary Kappa value of included studies showed substantial agreement, and meta-regression identified the variables, including the method of patient enrolment, method of consistency testing and patient race, which explained the substantial study heterogeneity. |
