Application of Combined Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Transvaginal Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Endometrial Carcinoma

Figure 6

Endometrial carcinoma with superficial myometrial invasion Stage IA. Image at 20, 22, and 40 seconds showed that during the arterial phase of CEUS (a) the nourishing artery of the lesion is enhanced at first, simultaneously followed by the lesion and uninvolved myometrium (b). During the venous phase, flow-out of the agent in the lesion is slightly faster than that in the uninvolved myometrium, resulting in a hypoechoic appearance (c), which can be used to identify the depth and scope of endometrial carcinoma.
