Quantificational Enhancement Pattern Analysis Using a Novel Software "Vuebox" of Contrast-enhanced Harmonic Endoscopic Ultrasonography for Differential Diagnosis Between Adenomas and Cholesterol Polyps

March 14, 2019 updated by: Yonsei University
The investigators' study is a prospective study to evaluate the enhancement pattern of contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography and suggest the criterions for differential diagnosis between gallbladder polyps by using software program of quantitative analysis.

Experimental: Contrast enhanced EUS group
Contrast enhanced EUS with quantitative analysis
After acquiring the EUS image by a regular procedure of EUS and contrast-enhanced with one of the fluoro-gas-containing contrast agents (SonoVue, Bracco, Germany), whole video is recorded on the embedded HDD (hard disk drive) of the US system for later analysis. The videos will be analyzed by using the VueBox software (Bracco Suisse SA, Geneva, Switzerland). After surgical treatment, we will compare the results of quantitative analysis with surgical pathology.
