Abstract:
PURPOSE: It was the aim of our study to combine the findings of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and ARFI-imaging in the evaluation of renal masses in comparison to the histological findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifteen patients with unclear kidney lesions were analyzed. We used a high-end ultrasound machine (Siemens ACUSON S2000, Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) with a multifrequency curved array 4 MHz or linear 9 MHz transducer. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (bolus injection 1.6-2.4 ml Son...     »
