Title: Value on The Differential Diagnosis of Ultrasound Contrast in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Hepatic Focal Nodular Hyperplasia
Abstract: Objective To investigate the value of ultrasound contrast in the differential diagnosis for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia(FNH). Methods Twenty-three HCC patients and 23 cases hepatic FNH patients from January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2014 in our hospital were selected, all of them were underwent ultrasound contrast examination before operation. The ultrasound contrast results of 2 groups patients were comparative analyzed. Results In HCC group, the contrast arrival time was(3.8±1.9) s, peak time was(21.8±11.9) s, and peak strength was(28.8 ±3.1) d B; in hepatic FNH group, these indicators was(2.3±1.4) s,(35.3±14.8) s, and(22.3±7.9) d B, respectively. These indicators of HCC group was longer or shorter or higher than those of hepatic FNH group, respectively(P0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of ultrasound contrast diagnosed HCC was 91.3%(21/23), 87.0%(20/23), and95.7%(22/23), and diagnosed hepatic FHN was 87.0%(20/23), 91.3%(21/23), and 91.3%(21/23), respectively, the difference were not statistically significant between the two groups(P0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound contrast has very important application value in the differential diagnosis of HCC and hepatic FNH, can be used in clinical application.
