无创伤检查法诊断胸出口压迫综合征

Noninvasive diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome

文内介绍了用多普勒超声和光电容积描记法检查诊断胸出口压迫综合征的方法。经对１４例临床确诊组，１６例可疑组和１０例正常对照组的检查，阳性率分别为９２％（１３／１４）、５０％（８ｊ１６）和０％（０／１０）。其结果表明与临床诊断有明显的一致性。此法能为临床诊断和治疗提供客观的依据。

AbstractDoppler ultrasound and photoplethysmography forthe diagnosis of thoracic outlet svndrome was describedin this article. There were 14 cases clinicallv con-firmed, 16 cases highly suspected, and 10 cases of nor-mal control. The positive rates were 92%( 13/14 ),50%(8/16) and 0%(0/10) respectively. The resultsshowed remarkably consistent with the clinical diagno-sis.This method has provided a reliable objective evi-dence for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of thiscondition.
