| Objective:To explore the diagnosis value of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in cirrhosis complicated with hepatic
focal lesions(≤ 3.0cm).Methods:A total of 100 patients with cirrhosis complicated with hepatic focal lesions, who were admitted to First
Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College from April 2010 to August 2014, were selected and the benign or malignant lesions were
diagnosed by MRI, CT and pathology. The imaging results were compared, and the accuracy of conventional ultrasound and CEUS were
calculated.Results:There were 105 lesions identified by MRI, CT and pathological, among which, there were 45 malignant lesions in
malignant group and 60 benign lesions in benign group. CEUS clearly showed the blood perfusion status and the characteristics of arterial
phase, portal phase and delayed phase. Statistical results showed that the accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of conventional ultrasound
and CEUS were 59.05%, 77.78%, 45.00% and 56.19%, 95.56%, 95.00% respectively, the differences were statistically significant(P<0.
05).Conclusion:CEUS has a higher value in diagnosing cirrhosis complicated with hepatic focal lesions compared with conventional ultrasound. |
