To determine the accuracy of liver sonography in the diagnosis of liver metastases, the results of 99 patients with breast or lung cancer were compared with liver scintigraphy, physical examination, laboratory tests, histological examination and clinical follow-up. Liver sonography proved to be an accurate method to demonstrate or exclude liver metastases, with a sensitivity of 78.6% and a specificity of 90.0%. The highest accuracy was achieved if the sonographic examination of the liver was performed while there was a clinical suspicion of liver metastases and if compoundscan sonography was supplemented by real-time sonography.
为确定肝脏超声检查在诊断肝转移瘤方面的准确性，将99例乳腺癌或肺癌患者的检查结果与肝脏闪烁扫描、体格检查、实验室检查、组织学检查及临床随访结果进行了比较。肝脏超声检查被证明是一种用于显示或排除肝转移瘤的准确方法，其灵敏度为78.6%，特异度为90.0%。如果在临床怀疑存在肝转移瘤时进行肝脏超声检查，并且用实时超声补充复合扫描超声检查，则可达到最高的准确性。
