What is 3620 about?

Objectives: Levovist is a galactose-based contrast medium that accumulates in the liver parenchyma in the late phase and is thought to be phagocytized by Kupffer cells. The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between various liver conditions and the contrast intensity seen in the late phase of Levovist-enhanced sonography. Methods: Ultrasound equipment used for the analysis was SONOLINE Elegra (Simens). Contrast intensity of microbubbles subtracted from tissue intensity in the liver parenchyma is measured by NIH image software in 59 patients with liver tumor. The transmission frequency is 2.8 MHz, and phase inversion contrast harmonic gray scale B mode was used. Ultrasound images in late phase were obtained in 5 min after the intravenous infusion of 2.5 g Levovist. Focus was always adjusted 4 to 6 cm in depth from the body surface as the maximal mechanical index was 1.9, and the region of interest was set on the left lobe in the longitudinal section of upper abdomen. Results: Platelet count, type IV collagen 7S, prothrombin time, albumin, bilirubin, Child-Pugh score and ICG value (%) were significantly correlated with contrast intensity of the microbubbles.
