Abstract

Amaç: Sonoelastografi (USE), servikal lenf nodlarının sert¬lik derecesini saptayan ve lenf nodunun malignite olasılığı hakkında fikir veren invaziv olmayan bir US tekniğidir. Bu çalışmada USE’nin servikal lenf nodlarının benign-malign ayrımındaki etkinliğini İİAB sonuçları ile karşılaştırılarak araştırdık.
Yöntem: Çalışma Ağustos 2013 – Kasım 2013 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz radyoloji ünitesinde prospektif olarak yapıldı. İİAB uygulanacak lenf nodu işlem öncesinde, B-mod US, renkli doppler US (RDUS) ve USE ile değerlendirildi. Sonrasında elastografik görüntüler sert alan yüzdesine göre 1-5 arasında numaralandırılarak renk skoruna göre değerlendirildi
Bulgular: İİAB sonrası 45 hastadan 27' sinin (%60) biyopsi sonucu reaktif, 18' inin (%40) ise metastatik lenf nodu olarak raporlandı. Çalışmamızda 1.55 gerinim indeksi kesim değerinin benign ve malign lenf nodları arasında en iyi ayrımın yapılmasını sağladığı görüldü. Ayrıca aks/kısa aks oranının ikiden az oluşu, ekojen hilusun görülmemesi ve mikst-periferal kanlanmanın gözlenmesi malign lenf nodlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı oranda fazla bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Sonoelastografi, servikal lenf nodlarının sert¬lik derecesini saptayan ve lenf nodunun malignite olasılığı hakkında fikir veren invaziv olmayan bir US tekniğidir. 1.55 üzerindeki gerinim indeks değerinde USE’nin duyarlılığı %94,4; seçiciliği %91,7 ve pozitif öngörü değeri %92,9 olarak bulundu.
