Objectives: Comparison of CEUS concordance with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) results in diagnostics of renal cystic lesions. Methods: We examined 23 cystic renal lesions indeterminated in grey scale ultrasound and 14 cysts examined with primarily indicated tumors. The examination was performed with Voluson730Expert, probe C2–5MHz/3D C2–5MHz. The kidneys were examined three times: grey scale with Doppler, after repeated bolus injection of 1,2ml SonoVue Coded Pulse Inversion option (MI:0,16–0,22) and Coded Harmonic Angio option (MI: 0,9–1,3). Vascularization (blood flow in walls, septa and solid co…
