Abstract:Objective:To evaluate the perfusion defect of superficial lesions by highfrequency contrastenhanced ultrasound through comparing the results of lowfrequency and highfrequency contrastenhanced ultrasound, and to put forward the preliminary countermeasures. Methods: Twentythree patients (9 male and 14 female, aged 45.87±9.32 years, ranging 3473 years) with 6 sorts of superficial lesions, including 1 parotid pleomorphic adenoma, 3 thyroid adenomas, 5 thyroid adenocarcinomas, 5 cervical metastases, 7 breast carcinomas and 2 of testicular seminomas, were examined by both lowfrequency and highfrequency contrastenhanced ultrasounds. CEUS with SonoVue under CPSCadence mode was performed for each lesion using abdominal probe (lowfrequency probe) 5 min before small parts probe (highfrequency probe). ACQ software was used to determine the peak intensity (PI) and the results were analyzed by Student’s t test in pairs. Results: The PI values of all the 6 types of lesions were significantly lower in highfrequency contrastenhanced ultrasound images than those in the lowfrequency contrastenhanced ultrasound images (P<0.001). Conclusion: The microvascular enhancement of superficial lesions by highfrequency CEUS might be lower than the real enhancement intensity. Abdominal lowfrequency probe should be recommended for revealing the perfusion status of superficial lesions after highfrequency probe, which is used for observing the morphology and internal structures of superficial lesions.
