Improved developments in digital ultrasound technology and the use of high-frequency broadband transducers make ultrasound (US) imaging the first screening tool in investigating superficial tissue lesions. US is a safe (no ionizing radiation), portable, easily repeatable, and cheap form of imaging compared to other imaging modalities. US is an excellent imaging modality to determine the nature of a mass lesion (cystic or solid) and its anatomic relation to adjoining structures. Masses can be characterized in terms of their size, number, component, and vascularity with US and Doppler US especially with power Doppler US. US, however, is operator dependent and has a number of artifacts that can result in misinterpretation. In this review, we emphasize the role of ultrasound, particularly power Doppler, in superficial soft-tissue lesions.
数字超声技术的不断改进以及高频宽带换能器的使用，使超声（US）成像成为检查浅表组织病变的首选筛查工具。与其他成像方式相比，超声是一种安全（无电离辐射）、便携、易于重复且廉价的成像形式。超声是确定肿块病变（囊性或实性）的性质及其与相邻结构的解剖关系的极佳成像方式。通过超声以及多普勒超声，尤其是能量多普勒超声，可以根据肿块的大小、数量、成分和血管分布对其进行特征描述。然而，超声依赖操作者，并且存在许多可能导致误判的伪像。在本综述中，我们强调超声，尤其是能量多普勒超声在浅表软组织病变中的作用。
