This article reviews the current status of Doppler sonography in breast neoplasms. The results already reported in the literature all indicate that more vessels are displayed and higher flow velocities are measured in malignant tumors than in benign conditions. The potential role of Doppler sonography remains to be definitively determined. It appears that high measured flow velocities and markedly elevated number of detectable vessel density indicate malignancy. However, Doppler sonography does not make it possible to rule out cancer, since a subset of malignant tumors show few Doppler signals or none at all. The use of Doppler sonography for monitoring the results of treatment is currently being evaluated.
本文综述了多普勒超声在乳腺肿瘤中的应用现状。文献中已报道的结果均表明，与良性病变相比，恶性肿瘤显示出更多的血管，且测量到的血流速度更高。多普勒超声的潜在作用仍有待明确确定。似乎测量到的高血流速度和明显升高的可检测血管密度表明为恶性。然而，多普勒超声并不能排除癌症，因为一部分恶性肿瘤显示很少的多普勒信号或根本没有。目前正在评估使用多普勒超声监测治疗结果的情况。
