Clinical value of CT combined with ultrasound in diagnosis of malignant bone tumor

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical value of CT scanning combined with ultrasound technique in diagnosis of malignant bone tumor.Methods 100 patients with malignant bone tumor were randomly divided into control group(50 cases with CT scan),and observation group (50 cases received CT scanning combined with ultrasound technology).The diagnostic accuracy rate,tumor bone formation and destruction of bone,periosteal reaction and soft tissue mass were compared between the two groups.All results were judged by the results of MR.Results Diagnostic accuracy rate of the observation group was 80.0％ (40/50),which was significantly higher than 64.0％(32/50) in the control group (x2 =4.65,P ＜ 0.05).In observation group,diagnosis of bone destruction in 60 cases,the tumor bone formation 10cases,83 cases of periosteal reaction and soft tissue mass in 40 cases,those in the control group were 40 cases,5 cases,62 cases,30 cases,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(x2 =4.86,5.71,6.21,5.22,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The combination of CT and ultrasound in the diagnosis of malignant bone tumors had high diagnostic accuracy rate,and could guide clinical treatment.
