Prospective assessment of diagnostic efficacy and safety of SonazoidTM and SonoVue® ultrasound contrast agents in patients with focal liver lesions

Objectives To assess the respective diagnostic value of Sonazoid™ and SonoVue® for characterizing FLLs as benign or malignant and the corresponding safety. Methods This prospective Phase 3 study was conducted at 17 centres in China and Korea (May 2014 to April 2015); 424 patients (20 to 80 years) wi...

Three independent blinded readers evaluated pre- and post-contrast images characterising the FLLs as benign or malignant. Results Sonazoid-enhanced and SonoVue-enhanced ultrasound provided a statistically significant improvement in specificity for all 3 readers comparing to unenhanced ultrasound (for Sonazoid: p  = 0.0093, &lt; 0.0001, 0.0011; for SonoVue: p  = 0.002, 0.03, 0.12, respectively).
