摘要

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether late-phase pulse inversion harmonic imaging (PIHI) increases conspicuity in hepatic masses, helps to differentiate benign from malignant lesions, and demonstrates a greater number of and smaller metastatic lesions than do conventional (fundamental) sonography and helical CT.MethodsThirty patients (17 women and 13 men; age range, 35-77 years; mean age, 54 years) with known or suspected liver masses were evaluated using both fundamental sonography and contrast-enhanced PIHI during the liver-specific late phase of Levovist. The patients also underwent contrast-enhanced triphasic helical CT examinations within 1 week after sonography. In 4 of the patients, gadolinium-enhanced MRI was also performed as a part of their clinical work-up.ResultsThe increase in the lesions' conspicuity on PIHI compared with fundamental sonography was significantly greater in malignant lesions than in benign lesions (p< 0.001). An echogenic rim was observed on PIHI in 8 (53%) of 15 malignant lesions. The mean number of metastatic lesions visualized on PIHI (5.5 +/- 5.3) was significantly higher than the mean number visualized on fundamental sonography (2.5 +/- 2.1, p < 0.05). Although lesions as small as 3 mm were observed on PIHI, the mean sizes of the smallest lesions demonstrated using fundamental sonography, PIHI, and helical CT were not significantly different.ConclusionsLate-phase PIHI is a useful technique for characterizing hepatic lesions and demonstrating both a greater number of and smaller metastases. It may help to differentiate benign from malignant liver masses and may obviate unnecessary and expensive further imaging.
