Application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary focal lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Peripheral pulmonary lesions are encountered frequently in clinical practice. Accurate diagnosis of these lesions is of great importance for clinicians. Ultrasound-guided lung tissue puncture is a reliable method for diagnosing these lesions.

Objectives

To investigate the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) combined with rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary focal lesions.

Methods

Eighty patients enrolled from July 2020 to June 2021 were divided into two groups: a conventional ultrasound group and a CEUS group. Both groups underwent diagnostic procedures guided by ROSE to improve the success rate of puncture sampling. The success rates and complications in both groups were compared. The results for l
