Abstract

Objective: To explore the ultrasonic image characteristics of palatine tonsils in healthy children and the factors affecting image quality.

Methods: A total of 750 images of palatine tonsils were collected from 375 healthy children. According to ultrasonic image quality, the images were divided into three groups. Both systemic and local factors were analyzed among the different groups.

Results: The palatine tonsils showed quasi-circular or flat oval, low echo or light and dark band arrangement, a striped medium echo, and a clear boundary. Age, height, weight, body mass index, body surface area, distance from the skin to the posterior margin of the tonsils, thickness of the anterior soft tissue of the tonsils, and thickness of the anterior submandibular gland of the tonsils were significantly different among the different image quality groups (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that height, weight, thickness of the anterior soft tissue of the tonsils, and thickness of the anterior submandibular gland of the tonsils were independent factors affecting the quality of the ultrasonic images of the palatine tonsils.

Conclusions: There are characteristic ultrasonic image manifestations of the palatine tonsils. Tonsil ultrasound image quality is affected by individual and local factors.

健康儿童腭扁桃体的超声波图像特征及影响图像质量的因素分析

目的：探讨健康儿童腭扁桃体的超声波图像特征及影响图像质量的因素：探讨健康儿童腭扁桃体的超声图像特征以及影响图像质量的因素：方法：共收集了 375 名健康儿童的 750 张腭扁桃体图像。根据超声图像质量将图像分为三组。结果：腭扁桃体的超声图像质量较差：腭扁桃体呈类圆形或扁椭圆形，低回声或明暗带排列，中回声呈条状，边界清晰。不同图像质量组的年龄、身高、体重、体质指数、体表面积、皮肤至扁桃体后缘的距离、扁桃体前软组织的厚度、扁桃体前颌下腺的厚度均有显著差异（P 结论：腭扁桃体的超声图像具有特征性表现，但不同图像质量组的差异较大：腭扁桃体有特征性的超声图像表现。扁桃体超声图像质量受个体和局部因素的影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography. The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents. JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
