We studied echograms of lymph nodes and clinically similar tumors of the neck in 194 patients. A complex of echographic signs providing the best diagnostic indicators: a minimal size of the node, volume, maximal to minimal size ratio and form. Accuracy of differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lymphadenopathies was 80.4%, sensitivity -- 94.3%, specificity -- 69.4%. In duration of the disease less than 1 month use of computer processing of echograms raised diagnostic accuracy by 9.5%.
我们研究了194例患者颈部淋巴结及临床相似肿瘤的超声图像。一组超声征象提供了最佳诊断指标：淋巴结的最小尺寸、体积、最大与最小尺寸之比及形态。良性和恶性淋巴结病的鉴别诊断准确率为80.4%，敏感性为94.3%，特异性为69.4%。在病程小于1个月时，使用超声图像的计算机处理可将诊断准确率提高9.5%。
