- In the last few years new potential applications have been developed for contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and the management of breast diseases, but there is still some debate concerning the optimal dose to evaluate breast lesions, especially as a diagnostic tool. Purpose To compare different CEUS doses of injected contrast agent in order to establish an optimal dose for the diagnosis of invasive breast cancer. Material and Methods In Group A we compared the bolus dose of 1.2 mL vs. 2.4 mL and in Group B we compared the bolus dose of 2.4 mL vs. 4.8 mL (26 and 25 invasive carcinomas, respectively). CEUS was performed in real-time contrast harmonic imaging (CHI) using a L9-3 MHz probe. All examinations were recorded in a contrast side/side imaging mode loop for 120 s. Wash-in and wash-out patterns of the contrast agent were analyzed with advanced US quantification software and kinetic curves were used for statistical analysis. Results In Group B (2.4 mL vs. 4.8 mL), more and stronger correlation was found among kinetic parameters (area under the curve, P < 0.00001; lognormal model parameters, μ, P = 0.0007 and σ, P < 0.0001; mean transit time, P < 0.0001; model-based wash-out ratios, W21m, P = 0.0002; W50m, P = 0.0001; time-to-peak, P = 0.005) as compared to Group A (1.2 mL vs. 2.4 mL). Conclusion The optimal way to evaluate kinetic features of invasive breast tumors using real-time CEUS is with an injection of contrast agent of either 2.4 mL or 4.8 mL.
