Description

Inner peeping type nasopharyngeal carcinoma supersonic imaging device and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to medical apparatus and instruments, particularly relate to a kind of inner peeping type nasopharyngeal carcinoma supersonic imaging device and method.
Background technology
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the malignant tumor that is primary in the nasopharynx position.The annual new Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients in the whole world approximately 600,000, occupy the 5th of Cancer Mortality.The nasopharyngeal carcinoma early symptom is not obvious, and the middle and advanced stage symptom comprises blood tears, bloody sputum, tinnitus, deafness, the enlargement of cervical region lymph, headache, facial numbness, diplopia, blepharoptosis, blind, dysphagia, hoarseness, deflection etc. lolls.Most symptoms can not cause that the patient suffering experiences, and the symptom of easy and other causes of disease is obscured; Usually, nasopharyngeal carcinoma is apt to occur in the mucosa of nasopharynx inwall, and this position is more hidden, and conventional indirect nasopharyngeal mirror is difficult to accurately distinguish cancerous issue.Therefore very easily out in the cold or mistaken diagnosis at the beginning of the nasopharyngeal carcinoma morbidity.Because the vital tissue organs such as nasopharynx and brain, intracranial vessel, lymph node, nerve are close, originate from the cancer in situ of mucous membrane of nasopharynx, be easy to invade the vital tissue organs such as brain, even by lymphatic vessel, blood vessel, transfer to liver, lung and bone at a distance.This is the major reason that causes NPC mortality higher.Early find that early treatment is the Key Principles of preventing and treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
According to the pathological characteristics of tumor cell, nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be divided into cancer in situ, micro-infiltrating carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, vesicular nucleus cell carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma.Different according to the profile of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, can be divided into nodular type, fungating type, infiltrative type, ulcer type and mucosa mo(u)ld bottom half.For the tumor invading scope being done unified assessment, the normal TNM standard that adopts is (namely according to the degree of other histoorgans of comprehensive assessment tumor invading, the degree of the contiguous lymph node of tumor invading, neoplasm metastasis is to the scope at other positions), tumor is divided into I, II, III, IV a, five phases of IV b.TNM by stages more after, represent that tumor invading, metastasis degree are higher, patient's treatment survival rate is lower.Because nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell is very responsive to high-energy ray, so radiotherapy is the Main Means for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Before implementing radiotherapy, need to adopt the image means such as CT, MRI accurately to locate range of tumor, to determine position and the dosage of x radiation x.
Yet, the CT imaging technique, density resolution is high, is fit to bone or calcified tissue's imaging, and imaging is its weakness for human body soft tissue.Canceration or Fibrotic mucous membrane of nasopharynx tissue, though can be identified roughly in the CT imaging, the tissue variation of trickle (as diameter less than 1 millimeter), but be difficult to by reliable recognition.MRI technology, properties all are better than the CT imaging technique, but its diagnosis somewhat expensive, taboo are used for patient that health is implanted into metal or magnetic material, to the insensitive deficiency that waits of tissue variation of trickle (as diameter less than 1 millimeter).
