 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 15 Second harmonic imaging ultrasound contrast agent in liver cancer in Application of Keywords:: second harmonic imaging ultrasound contrast agent in liver vascular ultrasound Abstract: Objective: To explore the micro-bubble-based ultrasound contrast agents and second harmonic imaging in hepatocellular carcinoma application characteristics. Methods: 22 cases of liver cancer patients who were peripheral before and after the intravenous injection of contrast agent (dose of 0.5 ~ 1.0 ml) line of fundamental imaging, color Doppler imaging and second harmonic imaging examination. Second harmonic imaging with 1.7/3.4 MHz (ATL-HDI 5000) or 1.8/3.6 MHz (HP5500). Results: The majority of hepatic arterial phase, no significant increase of liver, a few lesions appeared in punctate echogenic portal vein-enhanced liver tissue was markedly enhanced, but increased in tumor tissue is not obvious. Enhanced hypoechoic lesion is conducive to the display while the high-echo echo lesions or mixed lesions displayed high unhelpful. Enhanced tumor blood vessels may show more. Color Doppler imaging increased much less than the second harmonic imaging, but similar results. Conclusion: Micro-bubble-based ultrasound contrast agent in liver tissue mainly a reflection of the overall changes in blood flow compared with normal liver tissue for liver cancer is always a small blood vessel. Contrast agent and harmonic imaging can improve the blood vessels showed that harmonic imaging of tissue characterization capabilities to be further studied. The initial study of sonographic contrast agent and second harmonic imaging on HCC Abstract: Purpose: This study is to evaluate microbubble based ultrasonic contrast agent and harmonic imaging on liver tumor.Methods: Before and after media (Dose was from 0.5 to 1.0 ml) were injected into peripheral veins of 22 ptients with hepatocellulor carcinoma (HCC) , fundamental imaging, color Doppler imaging and second harmonic imaging w
