Table 5 Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and positive predictive value, negative predictive value for contrast-enhanced computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, intraoperative ultrasound in the L-group

	Sensitivity	Specificity	Accuracy	PPV	NPV
CE-CT or MRI	72.7%	80.0%	82.4%	89.2%	44.0%
CEUS	88.6%	90.0%	88.9%	98.8%	64.3%
IOUS	84.1%	50.0%	77.8%	88.1%	41.7%
CEUS + CE-CT/MRI	86.4%	100%	90.7%	100%	66.7%

L-group: the “Larger-group” (> 5 cm in diameter). PPV: Positive predictive value; NPV: Negative predictive value; CEUS: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound; IOUS: Intraoperative ultrasound; CE-CT: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography; MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging.
