Highlights
- •In total, the CT combined with ultrasound showed higher sensitivity and accuracy than US alone.
- •For the subgroup of solitary or multiple microcarcinomas, the performance efficiency of CT had no obvious advantage than US.
- •In the subgroup of solitary non-microcarcinomas, the performance efficiency of CT/US was significantly higher than US alone.
- •For the subgroup of multiple non-microcarcinomas, CT, US and US/CT had high diagnostic efficacy.
