Development of a pediatric liver CEUS criterion to classify benign and malignant liver lesions in pediatric patients: a pilot study.

• Hyperenhancement with washout in patients <v5 years or with early washout (≤ 45 s) were used to predict hepatoblastoma, with a sensitivity and specificity of 90.7% and 93.6%. • Peripheral discontinuous globular hyperenhancement was used to diagnose hemangioma, with a sensitivity and specificity of 84.6% and 100.0%. • The rates of malignancies within the pediatric liver CEUS-1, CEUS -2, CEUS-3, CEUS-4, and CEUS-5 categories were 0.0%, 0.0%, 5.6%, 50.0%, and 96.1%, respectively.
