Abstract 1497: In vivo discrimination of tumor modifications during antiangiogenic and cytotoxic therapy using ultrasonography modalities: Shear Wave Elastography (SWE), Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) and Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS)

In this article, based on two clinical examples, the possibilities of multiparametric ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of metastatic and lymphoproliferative changes in lymph nodes in primary-multiple malignant tumors, including breast cancer and lym - phoma, are evaluated. Multiparameteric ultrasound includes B-mode, color and energy Doppler imaging, strain elastography, shear wave elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Standardization and reproducibility of these ultrasound techniques will allow to objectify the study, obtaining specific indicators of shear wave velocity in the zones of interest and specific signs of contrast enhancement, which can be used as impor tant differential diagnostic tool in oncology.

High flow priapism caused by perineal trauma is a relatively rare disorder. Early diagnosis represents a mandatory condition for the therapeutic resolution. Ultrasound examination is affordable and a within reach method for diagnosis also in an emergency context. We present the case of a 56-year-old male patient with traumatic priapism which was subsequently investigated by contrast-enhanced ultrasound and shear wave elastography. This may be one of the first cases presented in the literature

The pilot results of the contrast — enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) application in the liver parenchyma assessment are presented in this article. 65 people aged 37 to 69 years were examined, 41 of them (63 %) with chronic viral hepatitis and 24 people (37 %) with established diagnosis of liver cirrhosis as the outcome of viral hepatitis. All patients underwent multiparametric ultrasound examination: ultrasound of the liver in B — mode, color Doppler’s mapping of liver vessels, 2D — Shear Wave Elastography (2DSWE) and CEUS. Liver biopsy and D — Shear Wave Elastography (2DSWE) were used as the reference method.
