Contrast-enhanced harmonic ultrasonography with Sonazoid in pancreatic diseases
Background Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography by means of Levovist, a galactose-based ultrasound contrast agent that is infused intravenously has allowed the observation of the vasculature of the abdominal organs. Particularly, contrast harmonic imaging, which is the specific imaging mode for Levovist, can depict signals from microbubbles in very slow flow without Doppler-related artifacts and i...
متن کاملEvaluation of contrast Sonazoid-enhanced ultrasonography for the detection of hepatic metastases in breast cancer.
BACKGROUND The present study was aimed to evaluate the usefulness of contrast Sonazoid-enhanced ultrasonography (US) for the detection of hepatic metastases in breast cancer patients and compare the clinical efficacy and sensitivity of this technique with conventional contrast unenhanced B-mode US in follow-up examinations of breast cancer patients with liver metastasis. METHODS We assessed a...
متن کاملDiagnosing Pancreatic Tumors Using Contrast-enhanced Harmonic Endoscopic Ultrasonography with Sonazoid.
Contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasonography (CH-EUS) with contrast agent enabled us to assess the hemodynamics closely, despite limited data in pancreatic tumors. We have initiated a prospective, single arm, and non-randomized study to clarify the accuracy and safety of CH-EUS with Sonazoid and time-intensity curve (TIC) analysis for diagnosing benign or malignant pancreatic tumors. A...
متن کاملSonazoid-enhanced ultrasonography and Ga-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI of hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor: a case report.
A liver neoplasm was found in a 63-year-old man with alcoholic liver disease. Sonazoid-enhanced ultrasonography (US) showed that the neoplasm was isoechoic at the early vascular phase and hypoechoic at the post-vascular phase. Gadolinium ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that the neoplasm was hypointense at the hepatobiliary phase. We suspected tha...
متن کاملEvaluation of Hemodynamics in Focal Steatosis and Focal Spared Lesion of the Liver Using Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography with Sonazoid
We aim to investigate the hemodynamics in focal steatosis and focal spared lesion of the liver using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) with Sonazoid. The subjects were 47 patients with focal steatosis and focal spared lesion. We evaluated enhancement patterns (hyperenhancement, isoenhancement, and hypoenhancement) in the vascular phase and the presence or absence of a hypoechoic area in ...
