Diagnostic Accuracy of Sonazoid-Enhanced Ultrasonography for Detection of Liver Metastasis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the potential clinical role and reliability of Sonazoid-enhanced ultrasound (SEUS) as a diagnostic tool for liver metastatic lesions.

Methods

An extensive literature search was conducted across five electronic databases, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, from their inception up to January 2024 to identify all studies evaluating the use of Sonazoid-enhanced ultrasonography for detecting hepatic metastases. A meta-analysis was performed to assess diagnostic accuracy using the Meta-DiSc 2.0 software.

Results

A total of 31 studies were included, 16 of which were eligible for meta-analysis and diagnostic test accuracy evaluation. A total of 13 studies in the meta-analysis evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of contrast-enhanced
