This review paper describes the possibilities of visualization of regional lymph nodes using contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Discussed is the experience of contrast-enhanced ultrasound implication for differential diagnosis of regional metastases of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral mucosa. The basics of the technique of contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination of the neck lymphatic basin are described.
В данной работе представлено описание возможностей визуализации регионарных лимфоузлов с применением контрастно-усиленного ультразвука. Обсуждается опыт применения контрастно-усиленного ультразвука в дифференциальной диагностике регионарных метастазов плоскоклеточного рака слизистой полости рта. Описываются основы методики технического и клинического обеспечения выполнения контрастно-усиленного ультразвука для обследования лимфоаппарата шеи.
