The differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic neoplasms with conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Advances in imaging have improved the detection rate of pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs), but clinical management varies depending on the pathological type of PCNs, and thus accurate differential diagnosis is of considerable clinical significance. We conducted this study to identify the clinical and sonographic features of PCNs with significance for differential diagnosis and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of conventional ultrasound and conventional ultrasound combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for PCNs.

Methods

From January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2022, a total of 100 patients with PCNs who underwent CEUS examination and were confirmed to have PCNs by postoperative pathology in West China Hospital of Sichuan University were included in this
