Abstract
Objective To study the clinical application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in diagnosing renal space-occupying lesions. Methods Sixty-seven patients with renal space-occupying lesions detected by routine ultrasound examination received the contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination. When observing the perfusion mode of the mass, we analyzed the perfusion characteristics of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and compared them with the surgical pathological results. Results Sixty-seven lesions, which were identified in 67 patients with renal space-occupying lesions, included 55 renal malignant tumors and 12 benign ones. The sensitivity of qualitative diagnosis by CEUS imaging was 96.4%, the specificity was 66.7%, and the accuracy was 91.0%. Conclusion The real-time blood supply of renal space-occupying lesions helps judge their nature according to the enhancement mode. It has high clinical application value in diagnosing benign and malignant lesions.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Nephrology and Renovascular Disease is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal focusing on the pathophysiology of the kidney and vascular supply. Epidemiology, screening, diagnosis, and treatment interventions are covered as well as basic science, biochemical and immunological studies. In particular, emphasis will be given to: -Chronic kidney disease- Complications of renovascular disease- Imaging techniques- Renal hypertension- Renal cancer- Treatment including pharmacological and transplantation- Dialysis and treatment of complications of dialysis and renal disease- Quality of Life- Patient satisfaction and preference- Health economic evaluations. The journal welcomes submitted papers covering original research, basic science, clinical studies, reviews & evaluations, guidelines, expert opinion and commentary, case reports and extended reports. The main focus of the journal will be to publish research and clinical results in humans but preclinical, animal and in vitro studies will be published where they shed light on disease processes and potential new therapies and interventions.
