The patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis have unapparent early symptoms due to invasive and slow growth, and the disease is usually at an advanced stage upon diagnosis, which has a poor prognosis. Early diagnosis of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis is therefore of great importance. The advances in the ultrasound techniques continues to improve the accuracy for the diagnosis of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis, and ultrasound plays a critical role in the treatment and assessment of therapeutic efficacy for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. This paper mainly reviews the application of ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.
［摘要］ 肝多房棘球蚴病因浸润性缓慢生长, 感染者早期症状不明显, 就诊时往往已为晚期, 预后较差。因此, 肝多房棘 球蚴病早期诊断尤为重要。随着超声技术不断创新和发展, 肝多房棘球蚴病诊断准确率不断提高, 而且超声技术在治 疗、评估疗效等方面也发挥了重要作用。本文主要就超声技术在肝多房棘球蚴病诊疗中的应用进展进行综述。.
