Objective.
Classification diagnosis was performed for cystic pancreatic lesions using ultrasound (US) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to explore the diagnostic value of CEUS by comparison with enhanced CT.
Methods.
Sixty-four cases with cystic pancreatic lesions were included in this study.
The cystic lesions of pancreas were classified into four types by US, CEUS, and CT: type I unilocular cysts; type II microcystic lesions; type III macrocystic lesions; and type IV cystic lesions with solid components or irregular thickening of the cystic wall or septa.
Results.
Eighteen type I, 7 type II, 10 type III, and 29 type IV cases were diagnosed by CT.
The classification results by US were as follows: 6 type I; 5 type II; 4 type III; and 49 type IV cases.
Compared with the results by enhanced CT, the kappa value was 0.36.
Using CEUS, 15, 6, 12, and 31 cases were diagnosed as types I–IV, respectively.
The kappa value was 0.77.
Conclusion.
CEUS has obvious superiority over US in the classification diagnostic accuracy in cystic pancreatic lesions and CEUS results showed substantial agreement with enhanced CT.
CEUS could contribute to the differential diagnosis of cystic pancreatic diseases.
