ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the efficacy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in diagnosing liver, gallbladder, spleen and renal diseases. Methods 27 patients with liver diseases, 30 patients with gallbladder diseases, 5 patients with renal diseases, 5 patients with renal trauma and 6 patients with spleen disease were examined by CEUS. Results There were 3 cases of primary hepatocellular carcinomas, 4 cases of metastatic hepatic carcinomas, 4 cases of liver abscess, 10 cases of hepatic hemangiomas and 3 cases of liver repture with active bleeding. The diagnostic coincidence rate of CEUS was 90%. 30 patients with gallbladder polyposis were diagnosed by CEUS, and the diagnostic coincidence rate was 100%. 5 cases with renal diaseses included 1 of renal abscess, 1 of renal column hypertrophy and 3 of renal hemangioma. In 5 cases with renal trauma, there were 3 cases with renal contusion and 2 cases with renal rupture and active bleeding. The coincidence rate was 61%. In 6 cases with spleen diseases, there were 1 case with splenic infraction, 1 case with splenic abscess and 4 cases with splenic rupture and hemorrhage. The coincidence rate was 100%. Conclusion CEUS has great value of clinical application in diagnosis of liver, gallbladder, spleen and renal diseases.
