Webinar Open and Special Issue Introduction

2:00 - 2:10 pm

Dr. Francesco Giangregorio

Characterization of Benign and Malignant Focal Liver Lesions With CEUS

With Dr. Francesco Giangregorio, we will explore "Characterization of Benign and Malignant Focal Liver Lesions With CEUS." He will translate guideline algorithms (LI-RADS, EFSUMB) into practical steps, teaching you how to interpret critical wash-in and wash-out patterns in real time to confidently distinguish between HCC, metastases, hemangiomas, and FNH—reducing unnecessary referrals and biopsies.

2:10 - 2:30 pm

Dr. Carla Serra

Hepatic Vascular Evaluation With CEUS (Hepatic Artery, Portal Vein and Sovrahepatic Veins)

Dr. Carla Serra will guide us through "Hepatic Vascular Evaluation With CEUS (Hepatic Artery, Portal Vein and Hepatic Veins)." Discover how CEUS surpasses Doppler in evaluating vessel patency, detecting shunts, and characterizing complex vascular complications like Budd–Chiari syndrome or TIPS dysfunction. This segment is crucial for managing portal hypertension and pre-surgical planning.

2:30 - 2:50 pm

Dr. Giovanna Ferraioli

Hepatic Fibrosis and Statosis Evaluation With Elastography

With Dr. Giovanna Ferraioli, a world leader in the field, we will address "Hepatic Fibrosis and Steatosis Evaluation With Elastography." Move beyond guesswork. Learn the latest protocols and evidence for using shear-wave elastography to stage fibrosis and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) to quantify steatosis, creating a powerful, non-invasive "virtual biopsy" for metabolic liver disease.
