Abstract

Clinical value of ultrasonic imaging in diagnosis of hypopharyngeal cancer with cervical lymph node metastasis was investigated. Eighty-nine patients who were diagnosed with hypopharyngeal cancer in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University (Qingdao) from January 2014 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Sixty-eight patients were diagnosed with hypopharyngeal cancer with cervical lymph node metastasis by pathological sections. Twenty-one patients did not have cervical lymph node metastasis. All the patients were diagnosed by palpation and ultrasound. The lymph node ultrasound images were quantified by computer, and the long/short diameter ratio, the maximum systolic velocity, blood flow resistance of the metastatic and non-metastatic patients were compared. The diagnostic efficacy of palpation and ultrasound was analyzed in the diagnosis of hypopharyngeal cancer with cervical lymph node metastasis. A correlation analysis was carried out between the image features of ultrasound and lymph node metastasis. The long/short diameter ratio, maximum systolic velocity and resistance index of patients with lymph node metastasis were significantly higher than those without lymph node metastasis, with a significant difference (P
