Clinical research of color Doppler ultrasound in diagnosis of chest wall tuberculosis / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of chest wall tuberculosis.Methods134 cases of chest wall tuberculosis were diagnosed with ultrasound and the correlation with CT,X-ray diagnostic results were studied.ResultsThere were solid echo type 27 cases; liquid dark area type 42 cases and combined echo type 65 cases.There was statistical significant difference between ultrasound and CT diagnosis of calcification within the lesion and the crab-like sinus(P＜0.05).The specificities of ultrasound and CT diagnosis of chest wall tuberculosis were 95.52％ and 93.28％,respectively,and the difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).ConclusionUltrasound diagnosis of chest wall tuberculosis has clinical value on determining the size of chest wall nodule,its range,and its relationship with the surrounding tissue.It is an effective diagnostic method of chest wall tuberculosis.
