Abstract: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)can afford more information of the vascularization of pancreatic tumors.Adenocarcinomas are often hypovascularized as compared with surrounding tissue,while neuroendocrine tumors are hypervascularized lesions.The most common enhancement pattern of masses associated with pancreatitis ale isovascularizatiom CEUS can improve the diagnosis and differential diagnosis ability in pancreatic tumors.The clinical application value of CEUS is significant.
