Objective. To discuss the clinical application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in testicular occupied lesions. Methods. Nine conventional-ultrasound-found testicular occupied lesions which underwent CEUS meantime were analyzed retrospectively. The CEUS perfusion pattern was compared with the surgical pathological result or follow-up findings. Results. Among all the 9 testicular occupied lesions, there were 5 testicular malignant tumors, 1 testicular benign tumor, 1 testicular tuberculosis, and 2 testicular hematomas. CEUS diagnosed 6 testicular malignant tumors, 1 testicular benign tumor, and 2 testicular hematomas, and its diagnostic accuracy was about 88.9%. Conclusion. CEUS has high clinical application value in the differential diagnoses of benign and malignant testicular occupied lesions.

Purpose: the purpose of this study was to determine whether MR with and without SPIO (AMI-25) could replace spiral-CTAP in the staging of colorectal adenocarcinoma Material and Methods: Thirty-five patients were studied prospectively by means of i.v. contrast-enhanced spiral-CT, spiral-CTAP, and MR of the liver. MR imaging was performed before and after infusion of AMI-25. Diagnoses were compared to intraoperative findings (n=35) which included intraoperative ultrasound (n=21), and follow-up CT (n= 18) Results and Conclusion: Fifteen patients were found to have a total number of 53 liver metastases and 43 benign lesions were detected. Evaluation was performed in four different ways: 1) i.v. contrast-enhanced spiral-CT; 2) i.v. contrast-enhanced spiral-CT + spiral-CTAP; 3) plain MR; 4) plain MR + SPIO-enhanced MR. I.v. contrast-enhanced spiral-CT, spiral-CTAP and SPIO-enhanced MR identified patients with liver metastases with equal sensitivity. However, owing to its significantly higher sensitivity, based on a lesion-by-lesion analysis, spiral-CTAP cannot be replaced by SPIO-enhanced MR in patients who are to undergo liver resection. A limitation in spiral-CTAP is its relatively low specificity
