Research progress on ultrasound elastography in lymph node evaluation
As an important part of the human immune system,lymph nodes are extensively distributed throughout the body.Various benign and malignant diseases may lead to lesions in lymph nodes,and the differentiation of benign and malignant lymph nodes is very important for prognosis prediction and staging.Ultrasound elastography(UE)is a non-invasive technique that can visualize the hard-ness and uniformity of the cortex and medulla of the lymph nodes and detect early local malignant infiltration.Therefore,this paper mainly discusses the principles and advantages and disadvantages of ultrasound elastography and the application progress on ultra-sound elastography in lymphadenopathy.
