The introduction of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) has led to a significant improvement in the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in the characterization of a pancreatic mass. CEUS, by using a blood pool contrast agent, can provide dynamic information concerning macro- and micro-circulation of focal lesions and of normal parenchyma, without the use of ionizing radiation. On the basis of personal experience and literature data, the purpose of this article is to describe and discuss CEUS imaging findings of the main solid and cystic pancreatic lesions with varying prevalence.
超声造影(CEUS)的引入显著提高了超声对胰腺肿块特征的诊断准确性。CEUS通过使用血池造影剂,可提供有关局灶性病变和正常实质的宏观及微循环的动态信息,且无需使用电离辐射。基于个人经验和文献数据,本文旨在描述和讨论不同患病率的主要实性和囊性胰腺病变的CEUS成像表现。
