Abstract: ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of contrastenhanced ultrasound(CEUS) guided biopsy in hepatic lesions. MethodsA total of 33 patients with 35 lesions underwent contrastenhanced ultrasound guided biopsy from Jan 2016 to Jan 2017 were enrolled in this study. Guided by contrastenhanced ultrasound, the puncture site and needle path were selected and guided realtime biopsy was performed. Puncture successful rate and diagnostic accuracy were calculated. ResultsAll the patients were performed successfully, and each lesion was punctured twice. The puncture successful rate was 1000%. Among 33 patients, 28 cases were diagnosed with malignancies (13 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma, 10 cases of cholangio cellular carcinoma, 3 cases of neuroendocrine carcinoma, 1 case of metastatic urothelial carcinoma and 1 case of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma), and 5 cases were benign(2 cases of inflammatory lesions, hepatocellular adenoma in 1 case and dysplasia nodules in 2 cases). The diagnostic accuracy was 1000%. Puncture complication was found in 1 case (small amount of bleeding under hepatic capsule). ConclusionContrastenhanced ultrasound can clearly display intrahepatic lesions, and realtime biopsy can improve the positive rate of puncture diagnosis.
