Abstract Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic yield of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-guided biopsy retroperitoneal masses (RMs). Materials and Methods Between 2006 2023, 87 patients presented at our US center for an RM. In all biopsies, CEUS was performed prior to intervention. The technical success rate biopsy, presence tissue in solid tumor samples, accuracy occurrence post-interventional complications were evaluated. Results A US-guided could be conducted 84/87 cases (96.6%). 3/87...
To describe the perfusion patterns of peripheral pulmonary granulomatous lesions (PPGLs) by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and their correlation with vascularization (VPs) represented immunohistochemical (CD34) endothelial staining.From January 2007 until September 2020, 10 consecutive patients histologically confirmed PPGLs were investigated CEUS. The time to enhancement, classified as early pulmonary-arterial (PA) pattern enhancement versus delayed bronchial-arterial (BA) extent...
This retrospective study aimed to describe the B-mode lung ultrasound (B-LUS) and contrast-enhanced (CEUS) follow-up patterns of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) in patients with confirmed embolism (PE).Data from 27 a diagnosis PE PPLs over 5 mm October 2009 November 2018 were included retrospectively study. The inclusion criteria performance baseline CEUS examination, short-term B-LUS follow-up, long-term PPLs. homogeneity enhancement (homogeneous/inhomogeneous/absent) on presence size...
Purpose: To describe the perfusion patterns of peripheral organizing pneumonia (POP) by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and their correlation with vascularization (VPs) represented immunohistochemical CD34 endothelial staining. Methods: From October 2006 until December 2020, 38 consecutive patients histologically confirmed POPs were standardized-examined CEUS. The time to enhancement (TE; classified as an early pulmonary-arterial [PA] pattern vs. delayed bronchial-arterial [BA]...
ObjectivesTo evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) perfusion patterns in differentiation benign and malignant retroperitoneal masses (RMs).MethodsBetween 2006 2023, 122 consecutive patients with an RM visualizable by B-mode US were investigated additionally CEUS. On CEUS, extent enhancement (classified as marked, reduced, or absent) homogeneity (HE; classified homogeneous inhomogeneous) evaluated. Subsequently, malignancy rate according to CEUS was determined.ResultsOn...
Description of the perfusion pulmonary metastasis by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and their correlation with vascularization patterns represented immunohistochemical CD34 endothelial staining.
To evaluate B-mode ultrasound (B-US) and contrast-enhanced (CEUS) patterns of focal splenic incidentalomas (FSIs), to correlate with benignity malignancy via histologic examination and/or the clinical course.Between 2004 2021, 139 consecutive patients an FSI detected by B-US were investigated additionally CEUS. On CEUS, arterial enhancement (AE) (hyperenhancement, isoenhancement, hypoenhancement, absent enhancement) was analyzed. Subsequently, rate according different echo CEUS perfusion...
Background and Aims: To investigate the frequency of different benign malignant focal liver lesions (FLLs) in relation to clinical sonographic features among patients with cirrhosis (LC) newly detected FLLs. Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis 225 cirrhotic FLLs who underwent hepatic ultrasound (US) examinations at our university hospital from 2011 2022. The diagnosis based on histology and/or consensus radiological criteria, accordance current diagnostic guidelines. were...
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of ultrasound point shear wave elastography (pSWE) using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) technology in different benign and malignant mesenteric masses (MMs).A total 69 patients with MMs diagnosed from September 2018 to November 2021 were included retrospectively study. The inclusion criteria (1) an MM over 1 cm; (2) valid ARFI measurements; (3) confirmation diagnosis by histological examination and/or clinical radiological follow-up. examine...
Abstract Introduction This study described the frequency of malignant synchronous focal liver lesions (FLLs) in patients with newly diagnosed non-hematologic disease. Methods From June 2013 to January 2017, 434 FLLs and underlying disease were included study. The diagnosis was made by histology and/or contrast-enhanced imaging. final medical report used for analysis Results Of lesions, 258 (59.4%) 176 (40.6%) benign. All metastases. benign comprised 93 cysts (21.4%), 52 hemangiomas (12.0%),...
To evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic performance of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography in different omental masses (OM).This was a retrospective analysis 106 patients with OM defined as thickness ≥1 cm, who underwent abdominal B-mode ultrasound (US) standardised ARFI examinations between September 2018 June 2021 at our university hospital. A cytohistological confirmation available 91/106 (85.8%) all OM, including 65/65 (100%) malignant (mOM) 26/41 (63.4%) benign...
Purpose: To evaluate the ability of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography in differentiating benign from malignant etiologies splenomegaly based on differences splenic stiffness. Materials and Methods: Between September 2020 November 2022, we evaluated 40 patients with splenomegaly—defined by a long axis greater than 13 cm and/or short 6 cm, without visible focal or infiltrative mass lesions—using abdominal ultrasound at our university hospital. Each patient also underwent...
Over the past 20 years, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has become established as a procedure that is complementary to B-mode and color Doppler sonography. The aim of this review provide fundamental knowledge required for examining liver with CEUS. Additionally, characteristic CEUS patterns frequent focal lesions are described. Considering limitations ultrasound, offers an equivalent alternative other imaging modalities, such computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging, evaluating...
Aim of the study: Spontaneous splenic rupture is a serious complication pathologically altered spleen tissue, associated with high mortality rate. Case description: We describe spontaneous in patient acute lymphoblastic leukemia undergoing chemotherapy. Ultrasound revealed splenomegaly, and diffuse leukemia-infiltration was suspected. In addition, only color Doppler sonography contrast-enhanced ultrasound diagnosed vascular ectasias venousflow- profile. During therapy, short-term sonographic...
