To compare the enhancement features of splenic solid tumors on contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT).
Methods:
Twenty-one patients with focal splenic lesions were enrolled
including 5 cases of hemangioma
5 cases of lympho-hemangioma
4 cases of lymphoma and 7 cases of metastases. Their enhancement appearances were compared.
Results:
The vascular displaying rates of CEUS and CECT were both 100%. The two contrast methods were more sensitive than color Doppler ultrasound in displaying the perfusion of the splenic lesions (71.4%) (
P
0.05). Hemodynamic characteristics of the splenic lesions were accordant. The
detection rate of special performance of CEUS was 57.1% (12/21) in the enhancement process. Compared to that of CECT
the enhancement on CEUS was more diversified. The difference was statistically significant between CEUS and CECT images (
P
0.05).
Conclusion:
Both CEUS and CECT can demonstrate hemodynamic features of splenic tumors sensitively
which is helpful in differential diagnosis of splenic tumors.
