“…Bei tieflie- with conventional Doppler sonography. Various scientific studies have addressed the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in peripheral lymph nodes with the most promising results being in selected patient collectives (breast cancer, cutaneous malignant melanoma) [18,19]. Most of the studies include small case numbers and the applied vascularization criteria are not uniform, for example the more sensitive imaging of the classic color/power Doppler criteria or perfusion pattern [20].…”

“…Grund genug daher, auch diesmal das breite Spektrum der technischen US-Applikationen und klinisch-sonografischen Aspekte der Mammasonografie in einem Editorial zu beleuchten [19 -58]. Dabei [41], wobei auf eine Arbeit zur dynamischen Kontrastmittelsonografie in der Unterscheidung benignermaligner Lymphknoten bei Patientinnen mit Mammakarzinom Bezug genommen wurde [42]. Denn, so eine der damaligen Schlussfolgerungen: "Finden wir nach sonografischen Kriterien suspekte axilläre Lymphknoten, dann sollten wir diesen Verdacht feingeweblich (bevorzugt Stanzbiopsie) abklären [41].…”

“…In a detailed review [1], I. Gruber et al summarize the current state of the art US-guided tissue diagnosis, of sonographically suspicious axillary lymph nodes. Relatively recently this topic was also the subject of an editorial [41] discussing an article on using dynamic CEUS in distinguishing between benign and malignant lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer [42]. One of the conclusions at that time stated: "If, using sonographic criteria, we find suspect axillary lymph nodes, then we should substantiate our suspicion histologically (preferably by performing US-guided core biopsy) [41].…”
