Abstract

This review outlines several modified versions of the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (CEUS LI-RADS) that utilize Sonazoid. Furthermore, it discusses the advantages and challenges of diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma using these guidelines, as well as the authors’ expectations and opinions regarding the next CEUS LI-RADS version. It is possible that Sonazoid could be incorporated into the next version of CEUS LI-RADS.
