Value of Color Doppler Ultrasound and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in the Staging Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer
Objective:To assess the diagnostic efficacy and accuracy of color Doppler ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the staging of cervical cancer.Methods:This retrospective study included 160 cervical cancer patients treated in the Joint Logistics Support Force's 900th Hospital from January 2021 to January 2024.All subjects underwent color Doppler ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound examinations.Quantitative parameters of vaginal ultrasound blood perfusion(rise time,peak time,peak intensity,mean transit time and microvascular density)were statistically compared across different stages of cervical cancer.The accuracy of both techniques in determining T stage,N stage,and pathological stage of cervical cancer was compared.Results:With the clinical stage of cervical cancer from Ⅰ to Ⅳ,the peak intensity showed an increasing trend,and the difference was statistically significant(t=39.019,P<0.05).The accuracy of CEUS in detecting T1 and T2 stages of cervical cancer in T stage was higher than that of color Doppler ultrasound,and the accuracy of CEUS in detecting N0 stage of cervical cancer in N stage was higher than that of color Doppler ultrasound.In cervical cancer stage detection,the combined detection accuracy of CEUS and color Doppler ultrasound was higher.Conclusion:Color Doppler ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound each have unique advantages and hold significant clinical value in the staging diagnosis of cervical cancer.The combined application of these technologies provides more information for accurate staging,thereby guiding more precise treatment strategies.Therefore,the integrated use of both techniques is recommended in the staging diagnosis of cervical cancer.
