超声弹性成像在乳腺结节良恶性鉴别中的应用
Application of Ultrasound Elastography in the Differential Diagnosis of Benign and Malignant Breast Nodules
摘要: 乳腺癌是女性最常见的恶性肿瘤,在部分地区死亡率仍持续增长,防治形势十分严峻。乳腺癌的早期诊断具有重要意义。常规超声检查在乳腺结节良恶性鉴别诊断中具有重要价值,但其特异性有限。超声弹性成像(Ultrasound Elastography)作为一种新兴技术,通过评估病变组织的硬度特性,结合常规超声表现,能显著提高对乳腺结节良恶性鉴别的准确性。本文综述了超声弹性成像在乳腺结节诊断中的应用进展,探讨其临床价值及未来的发展方向。
Abstract: Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women, and its mortality rate continues to increase in some regions, resulting in a severe situation for prevention and treatment. Early diagnosis of breast cancer is of great importance. Conventional ultrasound plays a valuable role in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast nodules, but its specificity is limited. As an emerging technique, ultrasound elastography can significantly improve the accuracy of differentiating benign from malignant breast nodules by evaluating the stiffness characteristics of lesions, in combination with conventional ultrasound findings. This article reviews the advances in the application of ultrasound elastography in the diagnosis of breast nodules, and discusses its clinical value and future development directions.
