ABSTRACT

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound images of tuberculous diaphragmatic muscle abscess of 26 surgically confirmed patients were retrospectively analyzed.The coincidence rate of preoperative diagnosis was 77％.The contrast-enhanced ultrasound images could be divided into three types of homogeneous,uneven and non-enhancement.Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography could decipher the blood supply characteristics and the different extents of tuberculous diaphragmatic muscle abscess.Thus it has important diagnostic values in the diagnosis of tuberculous diaphragmatic muscle abscess.
