Abstract：Objective: To study the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in ureteral tumors.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the histological diagnosis and the ultrasonogram of conventional ultrasound and CEUS in 25 patients with ureteral tumor,to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CEUS.Results: Two patients had a final diagnosis of ureteral benign tumor,and 23 patients had the diagnosis of ureter urothelial cell carcinoma.The diagnostic accuracy of the conventional ultrasound and CEUS was 68% (17/25) and 92% (23/25),respectively.Conclusions: As a new technique,CEUS has a good application in the diagnosis of ureteral tumors,and it can improve the clinical diagnostic accuracy of ureteral tumor.
