【摘要】 目的 探讨弹性成像在甲状腺微小癌诊断中的应用价值。 方法 回顾性分析从2007年12月-2008年4月间经病理证实的10例甲状腺微小癌患者共11个病灶的超声表现。 结果 彩色多普勒超声诊断甲状腺微小癌8例8个病灶，利用弹性成像技术诊断10例10灶。传统彩色多普勒超声对甲状腺微小癌的诊断率为72.7%；利用弹性成像技术对甲状腺微小癌的诊断率为90.9%。 结论 弹性成像技术对于甲状腺微小癌是对彩色多普勒超声检查的有益的补充，能够显著提高超声对甲状腺微小癌诊断的准确性。【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the application of US-elastography in diagnosis of thyroid microcacinoma. Methods The images of color ultrasound and ultrasound elastography from 11 lesions of 10 patients with thyroid micro-carcinoma diagnosed via histopathology between December 2007 and April 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Eight patients with eight lesions were found by colour ultrasound and 10 patients with 10 lesions were observed by ultrasound elastography. The diagnosis accurate rate of ultrasonography was about 72.7% and of ultrasound elastography was about 90.0%. Conclusion US-Elastography is a beneficial addition in diagnosis of thyroid microcacinoma by colour ultrasound. It can remarkably develop the accurate rate of the diagnosis of the disease.
Objective To summarize the progress of the application of ultrasound-guided thermal ablation for treatment of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Methods The relevant literatures of thyroid nodules treated by ultrasound-guided thermal ablation were reviewed by adopting the methods of literature review. Results In conditions of grasping the therapeutic indication strictly and evaluating preoperative various aspects sufficiently, it reveals a certain feasibility and validity applying ultrasound-guided thermal ablation in the treatment of PTMC classified in the low-risk group. Conclutions Possessing the advantages of minimal invasive techniques, low-risks, beauty and rapidness, ultrasound-guided thermal ablation might be recommended as an alternative to a low-risk PTMC patient who is at high risk in general anaesthesia operation or intolerant to open operation.
