To evaluate the efficacy of power doppler ultrasonography in depicting increased vasculature and hyperemia around the superficial soft tissue abscess.
21 patients with soft tissue abscess were evaluated with gray scale imaging, color doppler sonography, power doppler sonography and computed tomography. In each case attempts were made using power doppler sonography to demonstrate any areas of increased vascularity around the lesion. The results were compared with computed tomographic findings.
Peripheral hyperemia and increased vasculature were demonstrated with power doppler sonography in 19 of 21 patients with soft tissue abscess. The hyperemic area demonstrated around the wall of the abscess by power doppler sonography was similar to the enhanced area shown by computed tomography performed after contrast administration.
Power doppler sonography shows increased vasculature and hyperemia in the wall of abscesses. Therefore, power doppler sonography can be used to assist with the diagnosis of superficial soft tissue abscess.
评估能量多普勒超声在描绘浅表软组织脓肿周围血管增多和充血情况方面的效能。
对21例软组织脓肿患者进行了灰阶成像、彩色多普勒超声、能量多普勒超声及计算机断层扫描检查。在每例患者中,尝试使用能量多普勒超声来显示病变周围血管增多的区域。将结果与计算机断层扫描结果进行比较。
21例软组织脓肿患者中,能量多普勒超声在19例患者中显示出外周充血及血管增多。能量多普勒超声在脓肿壁周围显示的充血区域与造影后计算机断层扫描显示的强化区域相似。
能量多普勒超声显示脓肿壁血管增多和充血。因此,能量多普勒超声可用于辅助诊断浅表软组织脓肿。
