| 1 | Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in peripheral lung consolidations: What's its actual role?显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of contrastenhanced ultrasonography(CEUS)in the differential diagnosis between neoplastic and non-neoplastic peripheral pleuro-pulmonary lesions.METHODS:One hundred patients with pleural or peripheral pulmonary lesions underwent thoracic CEUS.An 8 microliters/mL solution of sulfur hexafluoride microbubbles stabilized by a phospholipid shell(SonoVue)was used as US contrast agent.The clips were stored and independently reviewed by two readers,who recorded the following parameters:presence/absence of arterial enhancement,time to enhancement(TE),extent of enhancement(EE),pattern of enhancement(PE),presence/absence of wash-out,time to wash-out,and extent of wash-out.After the final diagnosis(based on histopathologic findings or follow-up of at least 15 mo)was reached,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value(PPV),negative predictive value(NPV),positive likelihood ratio(PLR),negative likelihood ratio(NLR)of each CEUS parameter in the differential diagnosis between neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions were calculated.Furthermore,an arbitrary score based on the ratio between the PPVs of each CEUS parameter was calculated,to evaluate if some relationship could exist between overall CEUS behaviour and neoplastic or non-neoplastic nature of the lesions. | Sergio Sartori Simona Postorivo Francesca Di Vece Fran-cesca Ermili Davide Tassinari Paola Tombesi | 2013 | World Journal of Radiology2013，5，10： | 19 |
| 2 | Laser ablation of liver tumors:An ancillary technique,or an alternative to radiofrequency and microwave?显示文摘Radiofrequency ablation(RFA) is currently the most popular and used ablation modality for the treatment ofnon surgical patients with primary and secondary liver tumors, but in the last years microwave ablation(MWA) is being technically improved and widely rediscovered for clinical use. Laser thermal ablation(LTA) is by far less investigated and used than RFA and MWA, but the available data on its effectiveness and safety are quite good and comparable to those of RFA and MWA. All the three hyperthermia-based ablative techniques, when performed by skilled operators, can successfully treat all liver tumors eligible for thermal ablation, and to date in most centers of interventional oncology or interventional radiology the choice of the technique usually depends on the physician's preference and experience, or technical availability. However, RFA, MWA, and LTA have peculiar advantages and limitations that can make each of them more suitable than the other ones to treat patients and tumors with different characteristics. When all the three thermal ablation techniques are available, the choice among RFA, MWA, and LTA should be guided by their advantages and disadvantages, number, size, and location of the liver nodules, and cost-saving considerations, in order to give patients the best treatment option. | Sergio Sartori Francesca Di Vece Francesca Ermili Paola Tombesi | 2017 | World Journal of Radiology2017，9，3： | 6 |
| 3 | 在 Krukenberg 肿瘤的一种情况中的 ultrasonography 和提高对比的 ultrasonography 的角色显示文摘 We report a case of Krukenberg tumor of gastric origin with adnexal metastasis,in which ultrasonography(US) and contrast-enhanced US(CEUS) played a key diagnostic role.An 64-year-old female patient was referred to our department for abdominal pain,nausea and ascites.US examination was performed as first line diagnostic imaging approach,confirming the presence of ascites and detecting marked thickness of the gastric wall and a right adnexal mass.CEUS was immediately performed and showed arterial enhancement followed by wash-out in the venous phase of both the gastric wall and the adnexal mass,suggesting the diagnosis of gastric cancer with right adnexal metastasis(Krukenberg syndrome).The patient underwent USguided paracentesis and esophagogastroduodenoscopy that showed linitis plastica.Cytologic examination of the peritoneal fluid revealed the presence of signetring cells,and histologic examination of the specimen obtained by endoscopic biopsy showed primary gastric mucus-producing adenocarcinoma with signetring cells.Although transvaginal US is undoubtedly the method of choice to evaluate ovarian tumors,abdominal US and CEUS can provide key diagnostic elements,supporting clinicians in the first steps of the diagnostic work-up of abdominal and pelvic masses. | Paola Tombesi Francesca Di Vece Francesca Ermili Fabio Fabbian Sergio Sartori | 2013 | World Journal of Radiology2013，5，8： | 5 |
