摘要
简介:本文旨在说明如何利用 CDUS 和闪烁伪影提高因软组织中存在小 FB(在 US 灰阶检查中无法清晰显示)而感到不适的患者的诊断准确性:我们选取了 7 名成年患者,他们的皮下和肌肉组织中存在小的(2-4 毫米)浅表 FB,在 US 灰阶检查中几乎无法检测到。所有患者均接受了 US 灰阶和 CDUS 检查:结果:我们在所有 7 名患者中都发现了带有闪烁伪影的浅表 FB。结果:我们在 7 例患者中均发现了带有闪烁伪影的浅表 FB,手术切除后证实这些均为异物:结论:TA 可用于评估皮下和肌肉异物,并提供有关其位置、深度和形状的信息,在需要手术切除时非常有用。
Introduction: The aim of this paper is to show how to improve diagnostic accuracy using CDUS and twinkling artifact in patients experiencing discomfort due to the presence of small FBs in the soft tissues not clearly visible at US grayscale examination.
Materials and methods: We enrolled 7 adult patients presenting with small (2-4 mm) superficial FBs located in the subcutaneous and muscle tissues, barely or not detectable on US grayscale. All patients underwent US grayscale and CDUS examinations.
Results: We identified superficial FB with twinkling artifact in all 7 patients. All of these were confirmed to represent foreign bodies after surgical excision.
Conclusion: TA is useful in the evaluation of subcutaneous and muscular FBs and provides information on their location, depth and shape, which is useful if surgical excision is required.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Ultrasound is the official journal of the Italian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (SIUMB). The journal publishes original contributions (research and review articles, case reports, technical reports and letters to the editor) on significant advances in clinical diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic applications, clinical techniques, the physics, engineering and technology of ultrasound in medicine and biology, and in cross-sectional diagnostic imaging. The official language of Journal of Ultrasound is English.
