Contrast-enhanced ultrasound for differentiation of benign and malignant thyroid lesions: meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVE Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a new noninvasive modality for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules. However, the performance of CEUS in differentiating malignant and benign thyroid nodules has not been systematically evaluated. This meta-analysis was performed to assess the accuracy of CEUS in diagnosing thyroid nodules. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Embase, and the references of include...
متن کاملAutomated differentiation of benign and malignant liver tumors by Ultrasound Images
Background & Aims: Early detection and reliable differentiation of benign and malignant liver tumors could lead to improved cure rate and costs. Ultrasound image (US) is a convenient medical imaging method for interpreting liver tumors. Visual inspection of ultrasound images sometimes is combined with error and needs biopsy to confirm whether a tumor would be benign or malignant. The aim of thi...
متن کاملA contrast-enhanced ultrasound study of benign and malignant breast tissue.
OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic value of haemodynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound assessment in benign and malignant breast tissue, using histological examination as the reference standard. METHODS An HDI 5000 Phillips ultrasound scanner with microvascular imaging software and 2.5 ml SonoVue (Bracco spa, Milan) contrast was used to scan 50 consecutive patients (32 malignant and 18 beni...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced ultrasound for differential diagnosis of malignant and benign ovarian tumors: systematic review and meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVE To assess the performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CE-US) in the differential diagnosis of malignant and benign ovarian tumors. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive literature search of PubMed and EMBASE to identify published articles evaluating the diagnostic potential of CE-US for the differentiation of benign and malignant ovarian tumors. Inclusion criteria were: (1) the ...
متن کاملDifferentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions by apparent diffusion coefficient value in mass and non-mass lesions
Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is one of methods in evaluation of breast lesions. We aimed to investigate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in breast tumors and their accuracy in differentiating benign versus malignant lesions. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 72 patients with 88 breast lesions were investigated by 1.5-T breast MRI from 2015 to 2017 in Athari...
