Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for differential diagnosis of adnexal masses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Quantitative contrast-enhanced ultrasonography parameters are affected by various factors. We evaluated corrected quantitative contrast enhanced ultrasonography in differentiating benign adnexal tumors from malignant tumors.

Methods

Patients with adnexal masses who underwent conventional and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography were included. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography parameters such as base intensity, arrival time, peak intensity, time to peak intensity, ascending slope, and descending slope were measured. Corrected (time to peak intensity - arrival time) _mass/(time to peak intensity - arrival time) _uterus and (peak intensity - base intensity) _mass/(peak intensity - base intensity) _uterus were calculated.
