Diagnostic value of shear wave elastography quantification combined with conventional ultrasound in salivary gland tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The histopathological classification of salivary gland tumors is extremely complex. The imaging manifestations of some tumors are nonspecific. It is particularly important to improve the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of salivary gland tumors. This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic value of different parameters of shear wave elastography (SWE) in the quantitative diagnosis of salivary gland tumors, and to evaluate the value of SWE combined with conventional ultrasound.

Methods

The study was conducted retrospectively. Patients who underwent salivary gland tumor resection from April 2021 to November 2022 in the Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were randomly recruited to the study. A total of 305 masses were divided i
