Abstract

This paper proposes the effect of contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with real-time elastic imaging technology in the differential diagnosis of salivary gland tumors. 200 patients were selected, including 120 males and 60 females. The age ranged from 9 to 83 years, with an average of 55.4 years. Among the 200 cases, there were 90 cases of single parotid gland on the right, 77 cases of single parotid gland on the left, 2 cases of bilateral (single parotid gland on each side), 2 cases of multiple parotid gland on the right (2 lesions), 1 case of 2 lesions on the left and 1 lesion on the right, and 1 case of multiple parotid gland on the left (4 lesions). 135 cases were located in the superficial lobe (78%) and 38 cases (22%) in the deep lobe of parotid gland. The ARIETTA 70 color Doppler ultrasound diagnostic instrument is used. The equipment is equipped with high-frequency contrast probe, real-time elastic imaging technology, and related software. The results showed that the detection rate of salivary gland tumors by ultrasound was 100% and the diagnostic coincidence rate was 71% (123/173). Ultrasound can not only identify the tumors in and around the parotid gland but also identify the location, size, and internal structure of the tumors. Combined with CDFI, it can make qualitative diagnosis of most benign and malignant salivary gland tumors and provide help for clinical treatment and operation plan. It is proved that contrast-enhanced ultrasound and real-time elastic imaging technology have advantages over gray-scale ultrasound in differentiating benign and malignant superficial enlarged lymph nodes, and the combined use can effectively improve the diagnostic efficiency.
