Overview

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name].

OR

Echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an echocardiography/ultrasound suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

OR

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

• Contrast-enhanced ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma. Findings on an ultrasound diagnostic of cholangiocarcinoma include:
• Arterial phase:

• Peripheral irregular rim-like enhancement
• Heterogeneous central hypoenhancement

• Portal venous phase/delayed phase:

• Decreased echogenicity relative to background liver ("wash out")
