Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography with microbubbles for successful screening of kidney tumours
Sir, A 70-year-old female had developed chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 due to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), for which she performed peritoneal dialysis for 1 year until her kidney transplantation. On clinical evaluation, the patient mentioned a weight loss of 2 kg in the last 6 months but with normal appetite and without asthenia. Medical examination revealed the a...
متن کاملRenal perfusion evaluation with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography.
BACKGROUND Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is a novel imaging technique that is safe and applicable on the bedside. Recent developments seem to enable CEUS to quantify organ perfusion. We performed an exploratory study to determine the ability of CEUS to detect changes in renal perfusion and to correlate them with effective renal plasma flow. METHODS CEUS with destruction-refilling s...
متن کاملContrast-Enhanced Endoscopic Ultrasonography for Pancreatic Tumors
OBJECTIVES To investigate the usefulness of contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography (CE-EUS) for histological differentiation of pancreatic tumors. METHODS CE-EUS was performed for consecutive patients having a pancreatic solid lesion, and tumors were classified into three vascular patterns (hypervascular, isovascular, and hypovascular) at two time phases (early-phase and late-phase). Co...
متن کاملEvaluation of blunt pancreatic injury with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in comparison with contrast-enhanced computed tomography
The aim of the present study was to evaluate acute blunt pancreatic injury using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in comparison with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT). Superficial and deep lesions were established by blunt pancreatic injury in 40 Chinese Guangxi Bama miniature pigs. Conventional ultrasound (US), CEUS and CECT were performed to detect traumatic lesions in the ...
متن کاملAssessment of postoperative perfusion with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in kidney transplantation.
The aim of this study was to use contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to evaluate renal perfusion after kidney transplantation and investigate the clinical significance of CEUS in monitoring postoperative renal perfusion. Thirty-five patients who underwent kidney transplantations were included in this study and divided into two groups-normal and abnormal-based on their serum creatinine (SCr) lev...
