Abstract:
Objective To observe the value of conventional ultrasound(US)and contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)for diagnosing partially cystic papillary thyroid carcinomas(PCPTC).Methods Thirty patients with PCPTC(32 nodules)and 50 patients with benign partially cystic thyroid nodules(PCTN)(52 nodules)were retrospectively enrolled.US and CEUS manifestations were compared between groups,and the efficacy of US and US combined with CEUS for diagnosing PCPTC were analyzed.Results Significant differences of margin,solid part echo,liquid part location,microcalcification and blood flow distribution of the nodules showed with US,as well as enhancement phase,enhancement intensity,enhancement uniformity,peripheral high-enhancement ring and regression mode of lesions shown on CEUS were found between groups(all P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of US combined with CEUS for diagnosing PCPTC was 0.942,significantly higher than that of US alone(0.750,P＜0.001).Conclusion US had certain value for diagnosing PCPTC.Combining with CEUS could effectively improve diagnostic efficacy of US for PCPTC.
