摘要:
目的 探讨多模态超声定量参数诊断C-TIRADS4类细针穿刺细胞学(FNAC)检查TBSRTC Ⅲ类甲状腺结节的价值。 方法 选取2023年1月—2024年1月在宝鸡市人民医院经手术病理证实的126个甲状腺C-TIRADS4类FNAC检查为TBSRTC Ⅲ类结节标本的超声造影和弹性成像数据、FNAC细胞学图片及术后病理学结果,以术后病理结果为分组标准,其中恶性组结节83个,良性组结节43个。应用超声造影(CEUS)参数[造影剂达峰强度(PI)、时间-强度曲线的曲线下面积(TIC-AUC)]、应变弹性成像(SE)参数[应变平均值(SEmean)、应变比(SR)]和剪切波弹性成像(SWE)参数[弹性平均值(Emean)、弹性比(ER)]比较2组间差异。采用ROC曲线分析各参数的诊断价值及多模态超声联合应用的诊断效能。 结果 良性组PI、TIC-AUC、SEmean均值均高于恶性组(P<0.05),SR、Emean及ER均低于恶性组(P<0.05)。多模态超声诊断的AUC(95% CI)、灵敏度、特异度、Youden指数分别为0.912(0.849~0.955)、96.39%、86.05%、0.824,均显著高于单一超声诊断模式。PI、TIC-AUC与多模态超声ROC曲线成对比较,多模态超声 vs. PI、多模态超声 vs. TIC-AUC差异均有统计学意义(Z=2.750、2.293,P<0.05)。 结论 多模态超声定量参数有助于提高C-TIRADS4类FNAC检查病理诊断为TBSRTC Ⅲ类甲状腺结节的诊断价值。 Abstract:Objective Exploring the diagnostic value of multimodal ultrasound quantitative parameters in the classification of thyroid C-TIRADS4 nodules FNAC as TBSRTC Ⅲ nodules. Methods A total of 126 thyroid C-TIRADS4 type FNAC specimens confirmed by surgical pathology in Baoji People ' s Hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected as TBSRTC type Ⅲ nodules by contrast ultrasonography and elastic imaging, FNAC cytological images and postoperative pathological results. Postoperative pathological results were used as grouping criteria, including 83 nodules in the malignant group and 43 nodules in the benign group. CEUS parameters (PI, TIC-AUC), SE parameters (SEmean, SR), and SWE parameters (Emean, ER) were used to compare the differences between the two groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of each parameter and the diagnostic efficiency of multi-mode ultrasound combined application. Results The mean values of PI, TIC-AUC, and SEmean in the benign group were higher than those in the malignant group (P < 0.05), while SR, Emean, and ER were lower than those in the malignant group (P < 0.05). The AUC (95% CI), sensitivity, specificity, and Youden index of multimodal ultrasound diagnosis were 0.912 (0.849-0.955), 96.39%, 86.05%, and 0.824, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of single ultrasound diagnosis mode. PI and TIC-AUC were pairwise compared with ROC curves of multi-mode ultrasound, and there were statistically significant differences between multi-mode ultrasound vs. PI and multi-mode ultrasound vs. TIC-AUC (Z=2.750, 2.293, P < 0.05). Conclusion The quantitative parameters of multimodal ultrasound can improve the diagnostic value of C-TIRADS4 type FNAC examination and pathological diagnosis of TBSRTC type Ⅲ thyroid nodules. -
