Abstract:
Objective To provide objective basis for the diagnosis on nodules of prostatic inner gland by SonoLiver software with the dynamic vascular pattern ( DVP) and the parameters of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography( CEUS ) . Methods In a reprospective study ,CEUS was performed in 104 cases with nodules of prostatic inner gland that were divided into four groups including the benign prostatic hypertrophy(BPH) group ( n= 26) and prostate cancer( PCa) group ( n = 29) ,the others in high grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasia( HGPIN , n =25) and low grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasia( LGPIN , n =24) that developed from BPH . The SonoLiver software was used to analyze the CEUS of nodules to get the DVP and parameters of CEUS . Results Among the four groups ,the prostate specific antigen ( PSA ) level and nodule maximal size were significant different( P <0 .05) . Rise time(RT) ,time to peak(TTP) and mean transit time(mTT) of PCa group were highest among the four groups ,while maximum intensity (IMAX) was the lowest . The differences of TTP ,IMAX among the four groups were statistically significant ( P < 0 .05) . In the PCa group ,44 .8％ of nodules were warm-cold colour . The DVP type in HGPIN group was mainly only warm colour( 40 .0％ ) ,but the difference of DVP between PCa and HGPIN group was not significant( P > 0 .05) . The nodules in BPH and LGPIN group mostly were cold-warm colour ,also as only cold colour( P >0 .05) . The difference of DVP among the four groups was significant ( P<0 .05) . Conclusions The application of SonoLiver software with DVP and parameters of CEUS is valuable to diagnose the nodules of prostatic inner gland .
