Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well contrast-enhanced subharmonic ultrasound imaging works in improving the characterization of adnexal masses in patients undergoing surgery. Contrast-enhanced subharmonic ultrasound imaging uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of internal organs and when combined with an ultrasound agent such as perflutren lipid microspheres, may help improve imaging and management of adnexal masses.
