Objective.
To compare the consistency of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) classification results with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to investigate the diagnostic value of CEUS classification in pancreatic cystic lesions.
Methods.
84 cases of pancreatic cystic lesions were enrolled in this study.
According to the CEUS classification methods of previous study in our center, all the lesions were classified into four types: type I, unilocular cysts; type II, microcystic lesions; type III, macrocystic lesions; and type IV, cystic lesions with enhanced solid components.
The consistency of CEUS and MRI typing results was analysed.
Among the 84 cases, 45 cases had pathological results.
The CEUS results were compared with the pathological results, and the diagnostic value of CEUS classification in diagnosing pancreatic cystic lesions was explored.
Results.
Among the 84 cases, CEUS diagnosed 8 cases of type I, 24 of type II, 8 of type III, and 45 of type IV.
MRI diagnosed 10 cases of type I, 25 of type II, 7 of type III, and 43 of type IV.
The classification typing results of CEUS were highly consistent with that of enhanced MRI (kappa value: 0.852).
Among the 45 cases with pathological results, the diagnostic accuracy of each type was 91.1%, 95.6%, 93.3%, and 88.9%.
The accuracy of CEUS and MRI in diagnosing pancreatic cystic lesions was 75.56% (34/45) and 80% (36/45), respectively.
The diagnostic accuracy of CEUS had no significant difference from that of MRI (P=0.687).
Conclusion.
The classification results by CEUS and MRI are in excellent agreement.
The classification of pancreatic cystic lesions by CEUS is significantly helpful for clinical diagnosis.
