Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic advantages of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in experimental abdominal blunt trauma in comparison of routine ultrasonogrphy. Methods Liver, spleen and kidney blunt trauma models were established in 10 canines and 12 rabbits. Both routine ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography were performed to identify the possible injury. Accuracy of the two ultrasonic technologies was compared in diagnosing each kind of organ and various injury degrees. Results Fifty-six trauma models including 22 livers, 14 spleens and 20 kidneys were established. There was significant difference between two ultrasonic methods in diagnosing liver, spleen and kidney injury (P<0.01);and contrast-enhanced ultrasonogarphy had particular advantage in detecting minor injuries of Ⅰ-Ⅱ scale (P<0.01). Conclusion Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography greatly enhances diagnostic accuracy of blunt abdominal solid organ trauma, especially in minor injuries.
