Abstract:
Contrast-enhanced CT is a conventional imaging technique for assessing the effect of TACE for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recent years, with the continuous advances of technology and equipment, ultrasound has become more and more important in the diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation of HCC, which have the advantages of safety, convenience and low price. The advancements of ultrasound in therapeutic evaluation of HCC treated with TACE were reviewed in this article.
