This study aims to analyze non-invasive characterization focal liver lesions in patients with liver cirrhosis. The diagnostic accuracy and predictive value of non-invasive methods is studied.
This study aims to analyze non-invasive characterization focal liver lesions in patients with liver cirrhosis. The diagnostic accuracy and predictive value of non-invasive methods is studied.
Upon diagnosis multiparametric ultrasound imaging of the lesions as well as sarcopenia parameters are performed for characterization of the lesions. For primary endpoint the results are then analyzed with regard to diagnostic accuracy compared to gold standard (CT, MRI or histology). For secondary endpoint, predictive value of the non-invasive diagnostics are analyzed with regards to mortality and response to treatment.
All work up, treatment and follow up are applied in standard of care fashion.

This study includes all adult patients in our institution with liver cirrhosis and diagnosis of focal liver lesions. Non-invasive charaterization (multiparametric ultrasound, sarcopenia assessment) and standard of care work up, treatment and follow up is applied to all patients.
