- 在瘤学瘤学.
背景情况:
- 甲状腺结节很常见,准确的诊断对于适当的管理至关重要.
- 传统的超声波 (US) 是主要的诊断工具,但其在区分良性和恶性结节的准确性可能是有限的.
研究的目的:
- 评估常规US与对比增强US (CEUS) 结合用于甲状腺结节的诊断性能改善.
主要方法:
- 一项涉及515名323名恶性和192名良性甲状腺结节的参与者的研究在中国的8个中心进行.
- 开发了US和US+CEUS的诊断标准,并使用多变量逻辑回归和接收器操作特征 (ROC) 分析比较性能.
- 美国放射学学院 (ACR) 甲状腺成像报告和数据系统 (TIRADS) 用于美国的评估.
主要成果:
- 研究人员确定的标准显示,与ACR TIRADS (0.83;P <.001) 相比,CEUS TIRADS (0.87) 的曲线下面面积 (AUC) 得到改善.
- 诊断回归模型显示,US + CEUS (0.84) 与单独使用US (0.76;P = .001) 的AUC显著更高.

Ultrasonography
4.5K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
244
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...
