Perfusion patterns in adnexal masses on 2D-CEUS.

Patterncharacteristics

Type ICyst wall perfusion, thin wall (<3 mm)A: no perfusion in cyst
B: fine septa (≤1 mm) perfusion visible within the cyst
Type IICyst wall perfusion, thin wall (≥3 mm)A: no perfusion in cyst
B: perfusion of papilla on inner wall of the cyst (< 3 mm) and/or incomplete/complete septa perfusion, with uneven thickness (1–3 mm)
Type IIIPerfusion within the cystA: perfusion of papilla on inner wall of the cyst (≥3 mm) and/or incomplete/complete septa perfusion, with uneven thickness, which can be ≥3 mm
B: perfusion from periphery to the center of the tumor, or homogeneous perfusion of the mass, or sparse network perfusion of blood vessel
Type IVPerfusion within the cysInhomogeneous perfusion from one or more points in the mass, with or without perfusion defect area within the mass
