Ultrasound-guided, lymph node, fine-needle aspiration cytology is important in diagnosing axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer. However, poor needle visibility can render the procedure difficult. We describe a case in which state-of-the-art enhancement techniques using matrix linear probes can provide better needle visibility and improve the certainty and efficiency of the examination.
超声引导下的淋巴结细针穿刺细胞学检查对于诊断乳腺癌腋窝淋巴结转移很重要。然而,针的可视性差会使该操作变得困难。我们描述了一个病例,其中使用矩阵线性探头的先进增强技术可以提供更好的针可视性,并提高检查的确定性和效率。
