Title: The Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis Values of Conventional Ultrasound and Contrast Enhanced Ultrasonography in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the diagnosis values of the conventional ultrasound and the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: 120 cases with liver cancer who were treated in our hospital from May 2009 to October 2013 were selected and performed the Philips IU22 for routine ultrasound and the contrast enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS). Results: 68 cases showed hypoechoic, 20 cases were hyperechoic, 12 cases were equal echo, 17 cases were mixed echo, three cases were misdiagnosed the extrahepatic disease, and the detection rate was 97.5 %. The AT, TTP, ACT of the HCC were significantly later than the normal liver tissue(P 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference for the BI, PI, MTT BF values compared(P0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that CEUS perfusion parameters AT, TTP, ACT values for the cancer differentiation were positively correlated(P0.05).Conclusion: Conventional ultrasound and Contrast enhanced ultrasonography of liver cancer had better values, and the CEUS can reflect perfusion blood flow in normal and diseased tissue so as to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of liver cancer.
