目的：材料与方法：对21例软组织脓肿患者进行灰阶超声、彩色多普勒超声、能量多普勒超声及CT检查，并与正常对照组比较。在每种情况下，尝试使用功率多普勒超声显示病变周围的任何血管增加的区域。结果：21例软组织脓肿患者中，19例在能量多普勒超声下表现为周围充血和血管增多。能量多普勒超声显示脓肿壁周围的充血区域与造影后CT显示的增强区域相似。结论：能量多普勒超声显示脓肿壁血管增多，充血。因此，能量多谱勒超音波可用来协助诊断浅表软组织脓疡。
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of power doppler ultrasonography in depicting increased vasculature and hyperemia around the superficial soft tissue abscess.MATERIALS AND METHODS: 21 patients with soft tissue abscess were evaluated with gray scale imaging, color doppler sonography, power doppler sonography and computed tomography. In each case attempts were made using power doppler sonography to demonstrate any areas of increased vascularity around the lesion. The results were compared with computed tomographic findings.RESULTS: Peripheral hyperemia and increased vasculature were demonstrated with power doppler sonography in 19 of 21 patients with soft tissue abscess. The hyperemic area demonstrated around the wall of the abscess by power doppler sonography was similar to the enhanced area shown by computed tomography performed after contrast administration.CONCLUSION: Power doppler sonography shows increased vasculature and hyperemia in the wall of abscesses. Therefore, power doppler sonography can be used to assist with the diagnosis of superficial soft tissue abscess.
