As a kind of non-invasive medical imaging technology, it plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment of tumor. In terms of normal color doppler ultrasound, except early lung and brain tumor, it has a good effect on early detection and early treatment for tumors on the whole body. It is especially sensitive to tumors on thyroid, breast, liver and gall, pancreas, spleen, kidney, uterus, ovary and abdominal cavity. Color Doppler ultrasound is used in primary diagnosis on benign and malignant tumors and provides the clinicians the detailed information on relationship between tumor size, shape, location and peripheral tissue, and the scope of the tumor invasion, the diagnosis of metastasis and melanoma.
The development of the multi-color Doppler ultrasounds new technology plays a great role on tumor detection and treatment. For example, technologies such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound, elastography, ultrasound-guided puncture and biopsy is more accurate to detect whether a tumor is malignant or not. Ultrasound-guided tumor puncturing interventional therapy such as freezing, radiofrequency, microwaves and radioactive particles play a very important role in treatment of the focal. Aside from cancer detection and diagnosis, color doppler ultrasound is also helpful to cancer patients in other aspects. For example, it is not only used in check up and monitoring on cancer patient’s heart function, but also plays a very important role in helping clinicians make more appropriate treatments planning for cancer patients.
