Abstract

Spectral Doppler intensitometry to study transit of a bolus of an ultra-sonographic (US) contrast agent in the hepatic veins was performed in seven patients suspected of having liver metastases and seven control subjects. All control subjects had a late response (rise time, >25 seconds; time to peak intensity, >45 seconds), whereas six of seven patients had an early response (rise time,
