Application of ultrasound in the diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma

Objective To analyze the clinical value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma. Methods Sixty patients with hepatic hemangioma diagnosed in the Hangzhou Hospital of Zhejiang Medical Health Group from June 2017 to June 1818 were selected.The clinical data of the patients were analyzed retrospectively and the diagnosis results were observed. Results The images of 60 patients with hepatic hemangioma underwent ultrasonography: 46 cases were strongly echogenic, accounting for 76.67% of the total.Ultrasound examination could be used to detect the presence of echogenic enhancement nodules in the round or oval shape of the liver, and the edges of the image were relatively clear; 8 cases were weak echo type, accounting for 13.33% of the total, and the tumor could be seen in the honeycomb or the mesh-like low-density sound-transparent area had clear edges and irregular shapes.The other 6 cases were mixed echo type, accounting for 10.0% of the total.Ultrasound imaging was regular or under-rule and the edges were clear.Ultrasound diagnosis of liver hemangioma was 65.0%, which was lower than 87.50% of CT examination.The diagnostic sensitivity of B-ultrasound was 96.67%, and the accuracy rate was 97.33%, which were slightly lower than 98.21% and 97.50% of CT examination, but the differences were not statistically significant(χ2=4.15, 2.11, 0.01, all P>0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound has good diagnostic value in hepatic hemangioma and it is worthy of promotion in clinical application.
