Comparative assessment of diagnostic value of computed tomography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in colorectal cancer liver metastases diagnosis

Aim : This study aimed to clarify the ultrasound semiotics of colorectal cancer liver metastases contrast enhancement, and perform a comparative assessment diagnostic efficacy contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). Methods We studied 40 patients with cancer: receiving treatment for disease having newly diagnosed cancer. All underwent CT. In cases suspected malignancy, trephine biopsy morphological examination were performed. Results Contrast-enhanced CT demonstrated comparable high efficacy. The sensitivity in malignancy detection was 93.3%, 90% specificity, 96.55% positive predictive value, 81.82% negative 92.5% accuracy. 80% 93.33% Conclusions For contraindications CT, may be used an alternative imaging option differential diagnosis neoplasms.
