To compare contrast-enhanced ultrasound and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging for the assessment of vascularization of hydroxyapatite orbital implants.
Ten patients who underwent monthly contrast-enhanced ultrasound and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging following implantation were analyzed. The two modalities were compared according to their ability to visualize the progress of vascularization at monthly intervals.
There were no differences in the findings shown by these two methods. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound provided better visualization of the dynamic process of vascularization than contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. There were no significant differences in the areas and the time to completion of fibrovascular ingrowth observed by contrast-enhanced ultrasound and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, indicating that the findings of these two examinations were consistently similar.
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is useful for the assessment of vascularization of hydroxyapatite orbital implants and provides better visualization of the dynamic process than contrast-enhanced MRI.
比较超声造影和磁共振成像造影在评估羟基磷灰石眼眶植入物血管化方面的作用。
对10例植入后每月接受超声造影和磁共振成像造影检查的患者进行分析。根据两种检查方式每月观察血管化进展情况的能力进行比较。
两种方法的检查结果无差异。超声造影比磁共振成像造影能更好地显示血管化的动态过程。超声造影和磁共振成像造影观察到的纤维血管长入面积和完成时间无显著差异,表明这两种检查结果始终相似。
