The Effect of the Sample Size and Location on Contrast Ultrasound Measurement of Perfusion Parameters

Abstract: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound can be used to quantify tissue perfusion based on region of interest (ROI) analysis. The effect of the location and size of the ROI on the obtained perfusion parameters has been described in phantom, ex vivo and in vivo studies. We assessed the effects of location and size of the ROI on perfusion parameters in the renal cortex of 10 healthy, anesthetized cats using Definity s contrast-enhanced ultrasound to estimate the importance of the ROI on quantification of tissue perfusion wi… Show more

“…8 Several other factors, such as technical scanning variables, contrast medium characteristics, injection technique, and patient-related factors can influence quantitative variables. 2,5,8,[43][44][45][46] Peak intensity values were lower in comparison to those reported by others. 8 The use of different contrast media and different imaging system implies a different number of circulating microbubbles and, as a consequence, a different backscatter response from the tissue that influences the degree of contrast enhancement.…”

“…5,44,46 Because of these reasons, quantitative values obtained from different protocols are not entirely comparable. 2,5,8,[43][44][45][46] Fasting for at least 12 h before contrast-enhanced ultrasonography of the bowel is suggested to minimize the presence of gas and food particles 26 that create strong interference during the activation of the contrast-specific software. Furthermore, fasting is recommended to reduce the peristaltic activity 26 to avoid motion artefact that limits quantitative analysis.…”

“…The area of the regions‐of‐interest was kept the same for all dogs at all time points. The regions‐of‐interest were kept approximately at the same depth at all time points . One large region‐of‐interest was used instead of averaging three smaller regions‐of‐interest in order to minimize the influence of local heterogeneity of perfusion .…”
