Preliminary Study on the Value of Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasound in Enhancing Early Vascular Architecture for the Differential Diagnosis of Benign and Malignant Endometrial Lesions

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
This study aimed to analyze the microvascular morphology and distribution (i.e., early vascular architecture) of endometrial carcinoma lesions during the early enhancement phase using contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). The results confirmed that quantitative parameters based on the early vascular architecture possess certain diagnostic efficacy for ...

A Comparative Study of Ultrasonography and CT Venography in the Diagnosis of Budd‐Chiari Syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Budd‐Chiari syndrome (BCS) is characterized by hepatic venous outflow obstruction from the hepatic veins to the junction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right atrium. Ultrasound (US) and CT venography (CTV) are used as imaging techniques for the diagnosis of BCS, and We compared the diagnostic efficacy of the two modalities. The results showed that

Efficacy of Contrast‐Enhanced Endoscopic Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Gallbladder Tumor: A Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study

open access: yesJournal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Contrast‐enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography (CE‐EUS) provides clearer visualization of wall layer structures in gallbladder nodules than B‐mode EUS. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of B‐mode EUS and CE‐EUS in differentiating benign from malignant gallbladder lesions.
