The introduction of CEUS has significantly improved the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in characterizing pancreatic masses by providing dynamic information using a blood pool contrast agent without ionizing radiation. This article summarizes the CEUS imaging findings of various solid and cystic pancreatic lesions based on personal experience and literature data.
The introduction of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) has led to a significant improvement in the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in the characterization of a pancreatic mass. CEUS, by using a blood pool contrast agent, can provide dynamic information concerning macro- and micro-circulation of focal lesions and of normal parenchyma, without the use of ionizing radiation. On the basis of personal experience and literature data, the purpose of this article is to describe and discuss CEUS imaging findings of the main solid and cystic pancreatic lesions with varying prevalence.
