Application of contrast enhanced sonography combined with time-intensity analysis in the differential diagnosis of breast lesions

Objective To explore the value of contrast enhanced sonography combined with time-intensity curve analysis in breast lesions. Methods Based on pathologic analysis,thirty-six lesions were examined by contrast enhanced sonography,the time-intensity curve were evaluated respectively. Results Typical malignant solid breast lesions had some characteristic enhancement modes. The time-intensity curve of malignant lesion was rather different form that of surrounding tissues,but the time-intensity curve of benign mass was close to that of surrounding tissues. Conclusion Contrast enhanced sonography combined with time-intensity analysis was helpful in the differential diagnosis of breast masses.
