Abstract

Objective To explore the diagnostic values of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions. Methods The clinical data of 90 patients with pancreatic cystic lesions admitted to our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were given CEUS, MRI and pathological biopsy. The imaging features of pancreatic cystic lesions under CEUS and MRI were analyzed, and the pathological biopsy results were taken as "gold standard", and the accuracies of two imaging methods were analyzed in differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions. Results The imaging features of various types of pancreatic cystic lesions were different in CEUS and MRI, and the diagnostic accuracies were 74.4% (67/90) and 78.9% (71/90) respectively in two methods (P>0.05). Conclusion CEUS and MRI both can obtain ideal accuracy in differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions, and both have high clinical application values.
