Differential diagnosis of < 3 cm renal tumorsby ultrasonography: A rapid, Quantitative, Elastography Self-corrected Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound Imaging Mode beyond Screening.
CONCLUSIONS: This ARFI self-corrected CEUS diagnostic strategy is far beyond a screening method and may have the potential to identify a window of therapeutic opportunity in which emerging therapies might be applied to patients with CCRCC and UCRP, reducing overtreatment and medical costs.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: In our study, a new rapid and noninvasive elastography self-corrected (ESC) CEUS ultrasound imaging mode was developed, which was useful in the triple distinction of CCRCC, UCRP and other SRTs with 94.6% accuracy.ESC is a promising method in the differential diagnosis of SRTs with accuracy and practicability far beyond a single screening model.
