Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This prospective cohort study is designed to investigate and to compare the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and multidetector computed tomography (CT) for gallbladder cholesterol polyps, adenoma and gallbladder cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study, investigators aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of CEUS and high resolution CT (HRCT) for the preoperative differential diagnostic accuracies of gallbladder polypoid lesions.

Study Groups

gallbladder polyps patients

All patients with a gallbladder polypoid lesion visited our department, diagnosed by conventional transabdominal US, were enrolled in this study.

Of these patients, we excluded: (1) gallbladder polyp with a diameter less than 10 mm. (2) lesions highly suspected to be cancer due to visible metastasis. (3) allergy to contrast agents and cannot received CT or CEUS examination. (4) women in pregnancy or lactation.

All patients received transabdominal US, abdominal high resolution CT and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) before the cholecystectomy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Abdominal high resolution CT

Intervention Type DEVICE

CT examinations were performed using a 64-slice CT scanner. Arterial phase scanning was triggered by bolus tracking technique after 100 to 120 mL nonionic contrast material was injected through the antecubital vein. With a delay of 60 and 140 s after the beginning of contrast medium injection, portal venous and equilibrium phase image scanning were followed.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS)

Intervention Type DEVICE

CEUS examinations were performed using a Philips iU 22 scanner with a 1-5 MHz(Mega Hertz, MHz)vector transducer. Traditional transabdominal ultrasound and CEUS were performed by the same investigator, one with more than 3 years experiences in CEUS. Traditional ultrasound was used initially to locate the lesion. The plane with the bottom of the lesion was selected for further examination. When multiple lesions were existed, the largest one was selected to evaluate. The target was placed in the center of the screen and was kept stable. Pulse inversion harmonic imaging with an index of 0.06 was used in CEUS examination. SonoVue, which contained sulfur hexafluoride microbubbles, was used as the contrast agent.

Cholecystectomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Cholecystectomy is performed by method of either laparoscopic cholecystectomy or open cholecystectomy.
