摘要
目的评价剪切波弹性成像(SWE)的弹性指数预测乳头状甲状腺癌(PTC)颈部淋巴结转移的价值。方法选取了179例PTC患者行SWE检测,获取病灶的弹性指数(E_(mean)、E_(max)、E_(mix)、E_(ratio-p)、E_(ratio-m)),所有病变均以病理检查结果为金标准,对SWE鉴别颈部淋巴结转移及甲状腺外扩散(ETE)的准确性进行评价。结果中央区淋巴结转移(CLN)与无CLN的E_(mean)分别为104.8±58.4和78.6±48.2(P<0.001),颈侧区淋巴结转移(LLN)与无LLN的E_(mean)分别为127.6±60.4和86.4±45.9(P<0.001),甲状腺外扩散(ETE)与无ETE的E_(mean)分别为102.0±48.3和78.6±32.5(P<0.001)。CLN组和无CLN组的E_(mean)的临界点为121 kPa,其敏感度为75.3%、特异度为81.3%,曲线下面积为0.826;LLN组和无LLN组的E_(mean)的临界点为134 kPa,其敏感度为68.3%、特异度为76.3%,曲线下面积为0.797。结论 SWE在预测甲状腺乳头状癌颈部淋巴结转移及ETE中具有重要临床价值。
