This review demonstrates the unique advantages of sonography in the oncologic setting. Although computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography-computed tomography are primary imaging modalities for evaluation of the oncologic patient, sonography is useful for evaluation of various conditions and clinical scenarios associated with cancer. The following article will illustrate the utility of sonography at a tertiary cancer center for diagnosis and problem solving.
这篇综述展示了超声检查在肿瘤学领域的独特优势。虽然计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描是评估肿瘤患者的主要成像方式,但超声检查对于评估与癌症相关的各种情况和临床情况也很有用。本文将举例说明在一家三级癌症中心,超声检查在诊断和解决问题方面的应用。
