{"title":"The correlation between time-intensity curve parameters of transrectal contrast-enhanced ultrasound and pathological prognostic factors in rectal adenocarcinoma","authors":"Shitao Su, Jianyuan Huang, Xuanzhang Huang, Xigui Li, Yaoli Liu, Jun Meng, Yu Fan, Xiaoyan He, Shangyong Zhu","doi":"10.11152/mu-4375","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11152/mu-4375","url":null,"abstract":"Aims: To investigate the correlation between time-intensity curve (TIC) parameters obtained from transrectal contrast-enhanced ultrasound (TR-CEUS) and important pathological prognostic factors in rectal adenocarcinoma.Material and methods: We retrospectively included 477 patients with pathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma. TIC parameters were derived from preoperative dynamic TR-CEUS images. These parameters included peak intensity (PI), time to peak (TTP),mean transit time (MTT), slope (S), and area under the curve (AREA). Pathological prognostic factors included TN stage, tumor diameter, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), perineural invasion, and tumor differentiation. Spearman’s correlation analysis and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the association between TIC parameters and pathological prognostic factors.Results: pT1-2 stages rectal carcinomas exhibited higher PI-max, PI-min, S-max, S-min, AREA-max, and AREA-min than pT3-4 stages (all p<0.05). pN0 stage rectal adenocarcinomas displayed higher PI-max, S-max, AREA-max, PI-ratio, Sratio, and AREA-ratio than pN1-2 stage (all p<0.05). PI-ratio and S-ratio were higher in the LVI-negative and tumor diameter ≥4cm group compared to the LVI-positive and tumor diameter <4cm group, respectively (p<0.05). Well-differentiated rectal adenocarcinomas displayed higher PI-max, AREA-max, PI-ratio, S-ratio, and AREA-ratio than the moderate-poor differentiated group (all p<0.05). PI-max, S-max, AREA-max, PI-ratio, S-ratio, and AREA-ratio were negatively correlated with pN stage (all p<0.05). PI-ratio and S-ratio were independent predictive factors for the pN stage (OR=0.774, OR=1.048). S-ratio and AREA-ratio were independent predictive factors for tumor differentiation (OR=1.071, OR=0.911).Conclusions: TIC parameters derived from TR-CEUS exhibit correlations with specific pathological prognostic factors in rectal adenocarcinomas. This non-invasive method may hold promise for preoperatively assessing the prognosis of rectal adenocarcinoma patients.","PeriodicalId":94138,"journal":{"name":"Medical ultrasonography","volume":"44 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140975745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

US data were analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis and ROC analysis. Interobserver reliability was assessed, too.Results: A total of 205 patients (196 male and 9 female) were enrolled in this study. In multivariate analysis, the thickness of the synovium (OR=1.928, CI=1.074-3.463), CD (color Doppler) signal of the synovium (OR=1.458, CI=1.011-2.103), and CD signal of the tophi (OR=1.576, CI=1.142-2.177) were identified as risk factors for clinical pain. Areas under the ROC curves (AUC) were 0.713, 0.686 and 0.641 for the three indicators, respectively. The best cutoff points were 1 mm for the thickness of the synovium, grade 1 for the CD signal of the synovium and grade 2 for the CD signal of the tophi.Conclusions: Ultrasound can provide valuable information for determining underlying features associated with pain in patients with podagra.","PeriodicalId":94138,"journal":{"name":"Medical ultrasonography","volume":"17 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140976052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) allows to visualize blood flow and tissue perfusion. CEUS has proven to be safe without risk of nephrotoxicity. The availability of a contrast agent (tracer) for ultrasound imaging allows for the first time a dynamic assessment of tissue perfusion (blood flow and wash-in/wash-out pattern) which is an essential part for the detection and characterisation of pathological tissue and abnormal organ function. It was an outstanding achievement of academic centers in close cooperation with EFSUMB to investigate and validate the clinical potential of this new technology for the diagnosis and monitoring of various diseases and to develop clinical guidelines based on an in-depth assessment of the existing scientific publications. An important part of the implementation of CEUS in clinical practice was the development of contrast-specific imaging modes on the ultrasound scanners (in close cooperation with the machine manufacturers), the optimization of the machine setups for contrast imaging and the education provided to clinical users in form of workshops, webinars, textbooks and scientific congresses.</p>","PeriodicalId":94138,"journal":{"name":"Medical ultrasonography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141160128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
