Implication

Retrospective analysis demonstrates improved diagnostic performance in small hepatocellular carcinoma, suggesting modified ultrasound criteria enhance early tumor detection.

Key Points

Diagnostic sensitivity for hepatocellular carcinoma under 20 mm reaches 60.2% after reclassifying intermediate nodules, whilst preserving a high positive predictive value of 92.6%.
Retrospective evaluation of pathologically confirmed small lesions demonstrated that CEUS LI-RADS category LR-5 yielded 50.3% sensitivity and an area under the curve of 0.601.
Highlights the diagnostic benefit of integrating clinical features into contrast-enhanced ultrasound assessments, though further multi-center research remains necessary.
