Abstract:
Objective To observe the characteristics of different blood perfusion in renal cell carcinoma by contrast-enhanced ultrasound and prove its diagnostic value.Methods One hundred and six cases of renal cell carcinoma confirmed by patholog were involved,and were divided into three groups:clear cell carcinoma group,papillary cell carcinoma group,and chromophobe cell carcinoma group.Their imaging characteristics were observed.Time-intensity curve was analyzed by using QLab software.The difference of time of beginning to increase (△AT =ATrenal cell carcinoma-AT surrounding normal renal parenchyma) and the difference of peak intensity(△PI =PIrenal cell carcinoma-PIsurrounding normal renal parenhyma) in three groups were compared.Results △AT and △PI in clear cell carcinoma group were different from those in the papillary cell carcinoma group and chromophobe cell carcinoma group (P ＜0.05).The difference between papillary carcinoma group and chromophobe carcinoma group was not significant (P ＞0.05).Contrast agent filled very fast in most clear cell carcinomas,filled speed and time to peak were early or synchronously with the surrounding renal tissue.Compared with renal papillary carcinoma and chromophobe carcinoma group,clear cell carcinoma group showed a high peak intensity and part of the surroundings appeared high increasing signs,like of a ring.Contrast agents filled slow in papillary carcinomas group and chromophobe carcinomas group,and the peak intensities were low.Conclasions Contrast enhanced ultrasound can provide important clinical value for the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma and subtype diagnosis.
