Objectives: Usefulness of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the differentiation of solid renal lesions. Methods: 60 solid renal masses detected on grey scale ultrasound were evaluated. The examination was performed with Voluson730Expert, probe C2–5MHz/3DC2–5MHz, after repeated bolus injection of 1,2ml SonoVue using Coded Pulse Inversion (MI:0,16–0,22) and Coded Harmonic Angio (MI:0,9–1,3) options. Reference examinations were contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and histopathologic results. Results: Among 60 lesions, in 45(75%) cases CEUS suggested neoplasmatic process. In 28 cases histopatholog…
