Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: (1)Patients with an untreated pancreatic solid mass or pancreatic cystic mass (as a lesion of interest) on plain transabdominal ultrasonography (P-TUS) (2)Patients scheduled for pathological examination, such as endoscopic ultrasonography -guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), or surgery. For patients with a pancreatic cystic mass, those who are scheduled for surgery by suspecting it as a malignant mass. (3)Male or female inpatients or outpatients aged 20 years or older at the time of informed consent (4)Patients who are competent to comply with the trial procedures and willing to participate in the trial and who have submitted a signed and dated consent form

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1)Patients with hypersensitivity to any of the components in the study drug (2)Patients with a history of allergy to egg or egg products (3)Patients with an arteriovenous (right-left) shunt in the heart or the lung (4)Patients with a serious heart disease or serious lung disease (5)Patients who have undergone gastrectomy (6)Patients with acute, clinically fatal conditions (7)Patients with a history of allergy to iodine contrast agents (8)Patients unable to undergo contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). (9)Pregnant or potentially pregnant patients, nursing patients, or patients who do not agree to use contraception during the trial period (10)Patients who have received any treatment for cancer, such as drug therapy including chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or who are scheduled to receive any of these treatments from the time of signing informed consent to the completion of pathological examination (11)Patients known to have pancreatic carcinoma (12)Patients participating in or scheduled to participate in another clinical trial or intervention trial, or those who participated in another clinical trial or intervention trial within past 90 days (13)Patients who have undergone or scheduled to undergo another contrast radiography (e.g., examinations using an iodine contrast agent, MRI contrast agent, or other ultrasonic contrast agents) between 3 days before and 2 days after the study drug administration (14)Patients who are scheduled to undergo gastrointestinal examinations, such as laparoscopy or barium examination using a foaming agent, on the day of the study drug administration (15)Other patients who are deemed inappropriate for participation in the trial by the principal investigator or subinvestigator
