The value of ultrasound elastography combined with serum alpha fetoprotein and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase assay in the diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors of the liver
Objective:To analyze the application value of the combination of ultrasound elastography with serum alpha fetoprotein(AFP)and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT)assay in the diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors of the liver.Methods:Forty patients with malignant liver lesions(malignant group)and 40 patients with benign liver lesions(benign group)were selected for ultrasound elastography examination,and their serum AFP and GGT levels were determined to analyze their diagnostic value for benign and malignant liver lesions.Results:The elastic hardness scores and the serum AFP and GGT levels were higher in the malignant group than the benign group(P<0.05).The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound elastography elastic hardness scores,S1S2 index combined with serum AFP and GGT levels for the diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors of the liver were 100.00%and 97.50%,which were all higher than the single index(P<0.05).Conclusion:Ultrasound elastography combined with serum AFP and GGT levels has high clinical value in the diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors of the liver.
