Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Improves the Pathological Outcomes of US-Guided Core Needle Biopsy That Targets the Viable Area of Anterior Mediastinal Masses

Figure 1

The flow chart of the 92 patients with anterior mediastinal masses who underwent initial ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy with prebiopsy ultrasound or contrast-enhanced ultrasound evaluation. CEUS: contrast-enhanced ultrasound; US: ultrasound; AMMs: anterior mediastinal masses; US-CNB: ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy.
