dc.description.abstract | Objectives This study aimed to assess the value of Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI; Canon Medical Systems, Otawara, Japan) for distinguishing between benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes (LNs) and to compare SMI with power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS). Methods Power Doppler ultrasound and SMI examinations were performed for patients' cervical LNs. The distribution of feeding vessels, number, and appearance of internal vessels were analyzed by 2 readers, and the results of PDUS and SMI were compared. Interobserver agreement was assessed. A subgroup analysis was performed to assess differences in vascular patterns between metastasis and tuberculous lymphadenitis and between Kikuchi disease and lymphoma. The diagnostic performance for distinguishing between benign and malignant LNs was calculated. Results In total, 147 patients with 147 cervical LNs (85 benign and 62 malignant) were assessed. Interobserver agreement was moderate to strong for SMI. There were significant differences in the vascular patterns between benign and malignant LNs on SMI (distribution, number, and appearance, all P < .001), but not on PDUS. In the subgroup analysis, SMI showed a significant difference in the vascular patterns observed between metastasis and tuberculous lymphadenitis (distribution, P = .012; number, P = .014; and appearance, P = .005). Superb Microvascular Imaging detected significantly greater numbers of vessels in lymphoma than in Kikuchi disease (P = .012). The sensitivity of SMI was significantly greater than that of PDUS in distinguishing malignant from benign LNs (86.9% versus 54.1%; P < .001). Conclusions Superb Microvascular Imaging yields more detailed information about nodal vessels than does PDUS by enabling visualization of small nodal vessels. Superb Microvascular Imaging is useful and feasible for differentiating between malignant and benign cervical LNs. | - |
