Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: enhancement patterns and quantitative parameters.

CONCLUSION: CEUS is feasible to be applied to the nasopharynx region. The use of CEUS makes it possible to observe vascular permeability of NPC. Our results suggest that the quantitative parameter PI of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is significantly different from T stages. Thus, PI may serve as a potential noninvasive radiological prognostic indicator for NPC. PMID: 31421691 [PubMed - in process]
