Abstract: Objective To evaluate the value of intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound in diagnosis of endometrial polyps (EPs) by comparison with transvaginal color Doppler sonography (TCVD). Methods Eighty five cases were studied by Transvaginal color doppler sonography and intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), respectively, confirmed by pathology and comparing the two results. Results In the two groups of CEUS, the sensitivity was 82.8%, 94.1%, specificity was 90.9%, 72.7%, the diagnostic coincidence rate was 85.0%, 88.9%, all of these were higher than those of TVCD group, there was significant differences between two methods(P<0.05). 56 cases conformed to the pathological diagnosis, 53 cases showed the enhancement pattern was centrifugal enhancement, 3 cases was overall enhancement, intensity appeared variously. The difference of start time, peak time, and clear time between EPs and endometria were no significant difference between two groups each other(P>0.05).Conclusion CEUS is valuable in diagnosis EPs.

Key words: transvaginal color Doppler sonography (TVCD), intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS), endometrial polyps (EPs)
