Abstract: BACKGROUND:To investigate the accuracy of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, CT-enhancement and MRI in the diagnosis of liver-occupying lesions. METHODS:176 patients with suspected liver lesions in our hospital were retrospectively studied from July 2014 to July 2016. All of the 176 patients were diagnosed by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, enhanced CT and MRI, and the pathological examination was performed. The results of pathological examination were regarded as the results of the diagnosis. The diagnostic accuracywas then compared among contrast-enhanced ultrasound, enhanced CT and MRI of these patients. RESULTS:The results of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography showed that 164 of the 176 patients had liver-occupying lesions, and the accuracy of the diagnosis was 95.35%, which was significantly higher than that of CT enhancement and MRI (80.23% 84.30%). The accuracy of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, in the diagnosis of primary liver cancer was significantly higher than that of CT enhancement and MRI (P < 0.05), and the difference was significant difference (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The examination of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography is relatively simple, and the patients can get duplicateexamination, so we should choose the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography as the preferred method of diagnosis in liver mass, especially primary liver cancer.
