EXAMINATION OF LIVER MASSES WITH CONTRAST ENHANCED DYNAMİC FLOW ULTRASONOGRAPHY

Abstract

Aim is to investigate the effect of contrast enhanced dynamic flow ultrasonography in characterisation of liver masses. Forty patients with fortyfour focal liver lesions were first examined with conventional ultrasonography, color doppler, power doppler and contrast enhanced dynamic flow ultrasonography. Definite diagnosis of the lesions were as follows; 6 HCC, 13 metastases, 21 hemangiomas, 1 FNH, 2 hydatid cysts and 1 regeneration nodule. These lesions were then examined by dynamic flow ultrasonography with levovist 2,5/4 gr flk (contrast agent that contains galactose and palmitic acid). The vascular phase (arterial-portal) and parenchymal phase enhancement patterns were investigated. Accepting the arterial phase enhancement and later phase perfusion defect as a malignancy criteria, the sensitivity and specificity were 73,6% and 100% respectively. Accepting the later phase contrast enchancement as a benignity criteria, the sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 89,4% respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the nodülar enhancement in hemangiomas were 95,2% and 100% respectively. The sensitivity and specificity, demonsrating the tumour vessel of HCC in arterial and portal phases were 66.6% and 100% respectively. Contrast enhanced dynamic flow ultrasonography is an effective method in characterisation of liver masses.
