Application of Different Ultrasound Techniques in Parotid Tumors

Abstract

Abstract: The incidence of salivary gland tumors in head and neck tumors is about 3%-10%, of which the parotid gland is the most common site. The diversity of pathological types leads to significant differences in their biological behaviors, and their treatment strategies and prognosis are also different. Therefore, accurate preoperative evaluation is very important for the prognosis of patients. Ultrasonography has become the preferred imaging method for primary screening of parotid tumors due to its advantages of dynamic imaging, no radiation, and low cost. In recent years, with the continuous development of technology, ultrasound technology has changed from single mode to multi-mode, which can even be combined with artificial intelligence technology to break through the limitations of traditional manual reading, thus further improving the diagnostic accuracy. This review systematically describes the application of various ultrasound techniques in the evaluation of the efficacy of parotid tumors in recent years.

Key words: parotid gland tumor, ultrasound, multimodal ultrasound, radiomics, deep learning
