Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been used for diagnosing acute pancreatitis (AP), particularly severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). However, the diagnostic difference between CEUS and conventional ultrasonography (CUS) for AP and SAP has not been reported. The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of CUS and CEUS for AP. A total of 196 patients clinically diagnosed with AP were selected. All patients underwent CUS, CEUS and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) within 72 h. CECT was considered the gold standard. Pancreatic size, peripancreatic fluid collection (PPFC) and splenic vessel complications were the variables observed by CUS and CEUS. The differences in the variables among the three methods were analyzed using the ?2 test and statistical analysis software. Significant differences in pancreatic size, PPFC and splenic vessel complications in AP were observed between CEUS and CUS (P<0.05). ?2 test results indicated that CEUS significantly differed from CUS in terms of having a higher diagnostic accuracy for AP and SAP (P<0.05). The results indicate that CEUS is a reliable method for the diagnosis and monitoring of AP and SAP, and may be substituted for CECT.
