摘要
This research aims to present the findings of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in a series of patients with proven deep endometriosis (DE) and provide an updated literature review.Between January 2018 and October 2022, seven patients with DE lesions had their imaging and medical records retrospectively reviewed. Clinical data, recorded images of a standardized conventional B-mode ultrasound, and Sonovue® CEUS were interpreted by two blinded, independent, experienced radiologists in consensus. The enhanced characteristics of the DE lesion on CEUS were also assessed using VueBox® software quantitatively.DE lesion appeared as irregular hypoechoic or heterogeneous on conventional ultrasound with dotted blood flow signal on color Doppler. Six of seven DE lesions showed heterogeneous hypo-enhancement in arterial phases. All the lesions showed a heterogeneous washout rapidly that began in the late arterial phase. In quantified analysis, the mean relative peak enhancement compared with adjacent tissue was 0.47±0.25.Our findings and literature review suggested that CEUS could be a feasible and promising non-invasive modality for diagnosing DE.
