Abstract: Objective To determine the value of double contrast enhanced ultrasound (DCEUS) in detecting colorectal neoplasms. Methods The conventional abdominal ultrasound and DCEUS (hydrocolonal ultrasound+intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasonography) were performed in 77 patients with 79 colorectal tumors. The clinical, ultrasonic and pathological data of the patients were reviewed. Results The conventional abdominal ultrasound detected 32 colorectal tumors (32/79, with a sensitivity of 40.1%), compared with 68 tumors found in DCEUS (68/79, with a sensitivity of 86.1%). The tumors were located accurately in 21.9%(7/32) and 88.2%(60/68) cases for the conventional abdominal ultrasound and DCEUS, respectively (P <0.05). DCEUS accurately located 94.4%（51/54）cased with colon neoplasm. Two types of enhancing modes were found with colorectal neoplasm: entirely homogeneous enhancing and heterogeneous enhancing perpendicularly from the serosal part to the mucosal part. The enhancing modes were associated with the morphology of neoplasm. Thirty-nine segmented-thickened tumors were found with perpendicularly enhancing from the serosal surface to the mucosal surface, while 29 protruding tumors were found with enhancing from their pedicles or fund. Conclusion DCEUS has higher detection sensitivity and location accuracy than conventional ultrasound.
