超声弹性成像技术在前列腺癌诊断中的价值

Diagnostic value of ultrasound elastography in prostate cancer

超声弹性成像技术是一种获取组织弹性信息的新型成像技术,可以直接或间接反映组织内部的弹性模量等力学属性的差异,从而更清楚地显示、定位病变及鉴别病变性质。随着超声弹性成像技术的迅速发展及在临床实践中的广泛应用,已经成为一个研究热点,而目前国内外关于超声弹性成像在前列腺癌诊断中的研究报道尚不多。本文介绍了目前前列腺癌的诊断方法、超声弹性成像原理及发展,对近年超声弹性成像在前列腺癌诊断中的研究现状及进展进行了概述,并总结了其诊断价值及将来研究发展趋势。

Ultrasound elastography, as a new imaging technique to obtain information about tissue elasticity, can directly or indirectly reflect the differences of the inner elastic modulus and other mechanical properties in the tissue, and thus clearly display and position pathological changes and identify lesions. With its rapid development and wide application to clinical practice, ultrasound elastography has become a hot research topic. ＇However, reports are rarely seen at home and abroad about the application of ultrasound elastography in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. This paper introduces the principles and recent development of ultrasound elastography, its application in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, and the trend of research on its diagnostic value.
