Contrast-enhanced ultrasound of peripheral lymph nodes
Original language description
Purpose: To evaluate the benefit of contrast-enhanced ultrasound compared to colour Doppler ultrasound in distinction between benign and malignant lymph nodes in pacients with peripheral lymphadenopathy. Methods and materials: Total number of 80 patientswere examined (29 women, 51 men, age 22-86 years). Examinations were performed on Philips iU22 ultrasound machine using 17MHz probe natively for evaluation of pattern of node?s vascularization and 9MHz probe for evaluation of pattern of enhancement with1,5 ml intravenous bolus of sulphur hexafluoride contrast agent (SonoVue, Bracco, Italy) using power modulation mode with mechanical index 0.04. According to the pattern of vascularization and enhancement the nodes were divided into group of benign andmalignant ones. All nodes were extirpated, ultrasound and histological findings were correlated. Results: Total number of 84 lymph nodes were extirpated, 26 benign (30,9%) and 58 malignant (69,1%).
