摘要
目的:对比常规超声评价超声弹性成像(UE)在颈部淋巴结良恶性诊断中的价值。方法:对74例患者的99个淋巴结行灰阶超声(B超)、彩色多普勒血流图(CDFI)及UE检查。再行超声引导下穿刺活检,取得组织学病理结果作为最终诊断与B超、CDFI及UE进行对照。结果:在UE检查中,采用弹性应变率比值(Strain ratio,SR)法,以SR≥1.78作为颈部淋巴结的恶性诊断标准时,其灵敏度、特异度及准确度分别为98.3%,65.9%和84.8%;B超的灵敏度、特异度及准确度分别为55.2%,82.9%和66.7%;CDFI的灵敏度、特异度及准确度分别为72.4%,75.6%和73.7%。UE较B超具有更高的灵敏度、准确度及更大的ROC曲线下面积,且差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);UE较CDFI具有更高的灵敏度,且差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05),但二者的ROC曲线下面积无统计学差异。结论:超声弹性成像中以SR 1.78为分界值对颈部淋巴结良恶性的鉴别诊断具有一定价值,与B超比较价值更大。
Objective: Comparing with conventional ultrasound,to validate the value of ultrasound elastography(UE) in differentiating benign and malignant cervical lymph node(LN).Methods: B-mode ultrasound(B-US),color Doppler flow image(CDFI) and UE were performed for 99 lymph nodes of 74 patients and compared with final histological pathology obtained by ultrasound guided core needle biopsy.Results: With the cutoff point of strain ratio(SR) ≥1.78 for malignancy,UE was the most valuable in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy were 98.3%,65.9% and 84.8%.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy of B-US and CDFI were 55.2%,82.9%,66.7% and 72.4%,75.6%,73.7%.Compared with B-US,the sensitivity,accuracy and area under the ROC curve(AUC) of UE were statistically higher.Compared with CDFI,UE had a statistically higher sensitivity,but not the AUC.Conclusion: SR with the cutoff point of 1.78 is better than B-US in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes.As conventional ultrasound,UE is expected to be an important technique in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes.
