RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the enhancement pattern of thyroid carcinoma with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for the diagnostic value. METHODS: Thirty-one cases with thirty-five thyroid Occupied were retrospectively reviewed. The final diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy pathology. Contrast agent SonoVue and contrast pulse sequencing (CPS) technique were used in this study. RESULTS: Thirty-five thyroid carcinoma presented three enhancement patterns with CEUS. Type I: twenty-three lesions enhanced in a pattern of ring with centripetal fill-in, however, the central part of no contrast agent filling. Type II: five lesions enhanced regularly and homogeneously. Type III: seven lesions enhanced irregularly and homogeneously. Thyroid benign and malignant lesions perfusion time curve, compared to papillary thyroid carcinoma with nodular goiter in the AT, TTP and WT indicators P < 0.05; papillary thyroid carcinoma and thyroid adenoma, compared to WT alone an indicator of P < 0.05. CONCLUSIONS: Identification of the different enhancement patterns of thyroid carcinoma could improve the diagnostic ability of CEUS.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the diagnosis of thyroid occupied lesions with injection of sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles. METHODS: Fifty nine cases of conventional ultrasonic diagnosis of thyroid lesions in patients with 73 lesions re-sulfur hexafluoride microbubble ultrasound contrast real-time inspection, the use of CEUS and contrast pulse sequencing (CPS). RESULTS: Seventy-three lesions were satisfied with the dynamic contrast perfusion imaging. Ultrasound contrast prompted the 15 lesions (13 cases) of malignant lesions by postoperative pathology confirmed papillary thyroid carcinoma, ultrasound images showed a low or mixed echo, boundary ambiguity, accompanied by Microcalcification foci, blood flow distribution I rank or grade III. Ultrasound prompted 58 lesions (46 cases) of benign lesions, blood flow distribution of grade II or III, the performance of a variety of two-dimensional ultrasound image, showing cystic, solid or liquid-solid mass, border clearance. Contrast with the surrounding thyroid tissue, lesions
