For which renal tumors contrast enhanced ultrasonography is preferred and sufficient imaging method for diagnosis

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of contrast enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the diagnosis of renal tumors. Material and methods: Patients – 41patients with renal tumors (23 men, 18 women,) 54.88 ± 19 age, for a period of 9 months (May'2012 – January'2013) were examined. Methods – we performed Triplex Ultrasound (with Ultrasound machine Aloka Prosound 4000, conventional ultrasound probe 3.5 – 7 MHZ) before CEUS. All patients were evaluated by CEUS examinations, with Alfa 7 Ultrasound machine and low MI < 0.18. The contrast agent was SonoVue, dose 2.4 ml. The contrast distribut…
