剪切波弹性成像在周围神经及肌肉组织中的应用进展

目前神经、肌肉的慢性病变如糖尿病周围神经病变等具有病程较长、损伤不可逆等特点,若未及早诊断和干预可能出现不可逆的致残、致死.CT、MRI及二维超声等常规影像学检查方法仅能在神经或肌肉出现明显形态学改变时进行观察,而在病变早期尚未发生明显形变时无法进行诊断.剪切波弹性成像作为一种超声检查新技术,具有安全、实时、定量及价廉...

Research progress of shear wave elastography in peripheralnerve and muscle tissue

At present,chronic nerve and muscle diseases,such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy,are characterized by a long course of disease and irreversible damage.Failure to diagnose and intervene early may lead to irreversible disability and death.Conventional imaging examination methods,such as CT,MRI and two-dimensional ultrasound,can only be observed when obvious morphological changes occur in nerves or muscles.However,early diagnosis cannot be made when obvious deformation has not occurred in the early stage of lesions.Shear wave elastography,a new ultrasonographic technique,has the advantages of safety,real-time,quantification and low cost,and can be used as a method for the examination and long-term follow-up of nerve and muscle tissue lesions.This paper reviews the application and research progress of shear wave elastography in muscle and nerve tissue.
