The utility of gray scale ultrasonography in evaluation of extrathyroid masses of the head and neck is demonstrated by correlating ultrasonic data with clinical and histologic findings in 40 cases. This technique is valuable in differentiating cystic from noncystic masses in determining the nature of inflammatory masses, and in many cases allows determination of the margins of a mass and its relationship to adjacent structures.
通过将40例患者的超声数据与临床及组织学检查结果相关联，证实了灰阶超声检查在评估头颈部甲状腺外肿物方面的实用性。这项技术在鉴别囊性与非囊性肿物、确定炎性肿物的性质方面很有价值，并且在许多情况下能够确定肿物的边界及其与相邻结构的关系。
