To evaluate the value of Sonazoid- contrast-enhanced ultrasound (S-CEUS) guided needle biopsy in liver space-occupying lesions
by comparing the pathological diagnosis results of liver space-occupying lesions guided by conventional ultrasonography (US) and S-CEUS.
Methods:
Sixty-five patients with liver space-occupying lesions treated in Jiangyin Peoples Hospital from January to June 2021 were selected
with 65
lesions. 35 lesions were subjected to needle biopsy guided by US
and 30 lesions were subjected to needle biopsy guided by S-CEUS. The sampling success rate was compared by the pathological diagnosis results of the two groups of patients. Independent sample t test and 2 test were used to analyze the differences in categorical variables between groups.
Results:
The sampling success rate guided by S-CEUS was significantly higher than that guided by US (93.3%
vs
74.3%
P
<0.05). When needle biopsy was performed on smaller lesions (maximum diameter <3.0 cm)
the sampling success rate under S-CEUS-guided biopsy was also significantly higher than that under US guidance (94.1%
vs
61.1%
P
<0.05). Compared with US
S-CEUS-guided single sampling success rate was higher (79.0%
vs
56.0%
P
<0.05).
Conclusions:
S-CEUS real-time guidance can improve the success rate of liver space-occupying lesions biopsy
especially in small liver lesions biopsy has high application value.
