The value of ocntratse-nhanced ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT in the diganosis of small lvi er cancer
Abstract：Objective To investigate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) and contrast-en-hanced CT( CECT) in the diagnosis of small liver cancer.Methods One hundred and tweleve patients with 143 small solid liver lesions (≤2.0 cm) were examined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT, and the diagnoses were confirmed by pathological examination.CEUS and CECT findings of 143 small solid liver le-sions in the patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results 111 malignant lesions including 79 primary liver carcino-ma, 8 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and 24 metastatic liver carcinoma and 32 benign lesions were found in 112 pa-tients with 143 lesions.Compared with the results of pathological diagnosis, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CEUS and CECT were 88.3%, 84.4%, 87.3%and 86.5%, 87.5%, 86.7%, respectively, without significant differences between CEUS and CECT in the diagnosis ( P >0.05 ) .Conclusion CEUS and CECT have similar effects in the diagnosis of small liver carcinoma(≤2.0 cm) .CEUS is simpler than CECT in the diagnosis of small liver carcinoma.
