Abstract:
Objective To investigate the application value of CEUS combined with biopsy in qualitative diagnosis of pe ripheral pulmonary lesions.Methods A total of 158 patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions underwent percutaneous puncture biopsy.Among them,97 cases underwent CEUS before biopsy (experiment group),and 61 cases underwent conventional ultrasound (control group).Puncture times,positive rate of samples pathological diagnosis and occurrence rate of complications were compared between the two groups.The time intensity curve (TIC) was used to obtain the rise time (RT),time to peak (TTP),wash-in slope (WIS) and peak intensity (PI).The parameters of TIC between the two groups were compared.The enhanced morphology of lesions was also observed and recorded.Results The positive rate of samples pathological diagnosis was 94.85 ％ (92/97) in experiment group and 83.61％ (51/61) in control group.The difference of the positive rate was significant between the two groups (P=0.02).In experiment and control group,the average puncture times were 2.11±0.48 and 2.20±0.44;While the occurrence rate of complications were 2.06％ (2/97) and 4.91％ (3/61).No significant difference was found of the average puncture times and the occurrence rate of complications between the two groups (both P＞0.05).While the statistical differences of RT,PI and WIS were found between benign and malignant lesions (all P＜0.05) in experiment group.And no statistical difference of TTP was found (P =0.08).Totally 77.50％ (31/40) of the benign lesions showed inhomogeneous enhancement,while the proportion was 88.46％ (46/52) in malignant lesions.There was no statistical difference of enhanced morphology between benign and malignant lesions (P=0.16).Conclusion CEUS is helpful in distinguishing benign and malignant peripheral pulmonary lesions.And it has great value in guiding percutaneous biopsy in peripheral pulmonary lesions.
