Breast cancer is the most common malignancies in women. Axillary lymph node status is critical for the treatment and prognosis of breast cancer patients. Conventional ultrasound
as one of the important methods for the evaluation of axillary lymph node metastasis of breast cancer
has the advantages of high efficiency
simplicity and economy
but only from the morphology and blood flow of lymph nodes. It has high specificity and low sensitivity. Intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound can observe microcirculation perfusion in lymph nodes and was gradually used in preoperative examination. Percutaneous contrast-enhanced ultrasound has important clinical value in localization of sentinec lymph nodes. In this paper
the application of conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in assessment of axillary lymph node status in breast cancer is reviewed
Value of lymphatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the classification of lymphatic drainage patterns and diagnosis of sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer
The value of conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis of partially cystic thyroid nodules
The clinical application value of the contrast-enhanced ultrasound scoring method in readjusting the BI-RADS category 4 assessment of the breast
The value of multimodal ultrasound in preoperative evaluation of sentinel lymph nodes of breast cancer
Association between the characteristics of conventional ultrasound combined with CEUS and the recurrence or metastasis of postoperative breast cancer
