Abstract

Objective. To determine the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) guided core-needle biopsy (CNB) of soft tissue tumors.
Materials and methods. CEUS-guided biopsy of soft tissue tumors was performed in 59 cases (main group). In control group (59 patients) biopsy was performed under ultrasound navigation in B-mode.
Results. In the main group biopsy sample was informative in 100% of cases versus 91% in the control group. Sensitivity and negative-predictive value in the main group were 100% (versus 95% and 87% in control group respectively). Finally, diagnosis during the preoperative examination was correct in 90% cases in the main group (versus 68% in control group). This study confirms the diagnostic value of CEUS-guided biopsy method.
