Для повышения информативности используют различные методики ультразвукового метода (эластография, ЦДК, SMI); в последние годы в практику активно внедряется методика с применением ультразвуковых контрастных препаратов (УЗКП), что повышает диапазон диагностических возможностей ультразвукового метода.</p><sec><title>Цель исследования</title><p>Цель исследования: оценить диагностическую эффективность методики контраст-усиленного ультразвукового исследования (КУЗИ) и мультипараметрического УЗИ с включением ультразвукового контрастирования для детекции и прогнозирования метастазирования в сигнальных лимфатических узлах (СЛУ) на амбулаторном этапе.</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. В настоящем исследовании проведен комплексный анализ данных 120 первичных больных с инвазивным РМЖ для оценки диагностической ценности качественной, количественной и комбинированной модели с ультразвуковым контрастированием (ультразвуковой контраст Соновью, путь введения – параареолярно внутрикожно в общем объеме 1 мл), а также мультипараметрической модели (комбинация КУЗИ, данных В-режима и ЦДК). Проведен статистический анализ (логистическая регрессия, ROC-анализ), в том числе по подгруппам в зависимости от вида метастаза и метастатической нагрузки на аксиллярные ЛУ.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Метастазы в подмышечных ЛУ выявлены в 29,2% случаев; доля пациентов pN+ возрастала от паттернов I–II к IV–V (до 71–100%; p &lt; 0,001); объединение III–VI паттернов в сравнении с I–II давало ОШ = 6,0. В-режим играл ведущую роль в прогнозировании метастаза по признаку утолщения кориекса более 3 мм (p &lt; 0,001; AUC 0,84), поперечный размер и тип кровотока в режиме ЦДК имели умеренную информативность (p = 0,02 и p = 0,077 соответственно). Интеграция признаков улучшала точность: комбинированная модель (паттерны+ количественные метрики) обеспечивала AUC 0,686, чувствительность 60%, специфичность 81,2%, а мультипараметрическая (комбинированная с дополнением данных В-режима и ЦДК) – наивысшие значения (AUC 0,78, чувствительность 65,8%, специфичность 80%).</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Внутрикожное параареолярное введение УЗКП обеспечивает высокую частоту идентификации СЛУ и позволяет прогнозировать статус и метастатическое поражение ЛУ. Мультипараметрическое УЗИ, комбинирующее данные В‑режима, ЦДК и КУЗИ, повышает диагностическую точность аксиллярного стадирования у больных РМЖ. </p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Axillary mapping and assessment of axillary lymph node status remains a key staging issue for determining treatment strategies and algorithms for patients with invasive breast cancer. Various ultrasound techniques (elastography, color Doppler, and SMI) are used to improve diagnostic accuracy. In recent years, ultrasound contrast agents have been widely adopted, increasing the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound.</p><sec><title>The aim</title><p>The aim: to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of CEUS and multiparametric ultrasound with the inclusion of the ultrasound contrast technique in preoperative detection and prediction of metastases in the SLN.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. This study included a comprehensive analysis of data from 120 up-front patients with invasive breast cancer to evaluate the diagnostic value of qualitative (contrast patterns), quantitative, combined and multiparametric (combined CEUS parameters + B-mode) models.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Axillary lymph node metastases were detected in 29.2% of cases; the proportion of pN+ patients increased from patterns I–II to IV–V (up to 71–100%; p&lt;0.001); combining patterns III–VI versus I–II yielded an OR of 6.0. B-mode showed a leading role in predicting metastasis based on cortical thickening of more than 3 mm (p &lt; 0.001; AUC 0.84), transverse size and blood flow type in the color Doppler imaging mode had moderate information content (p = 0.02 and p = 0.077, respectively). Integration of features improved accuracy: combined model – AUC 0.686, sensitivity – 60%, specificity – 81.2%, and multiparametric (combined with the addition of B-mode and color Doppler imaging) – the highest values (AUC 0.78; sensitivity 65.8%, specificity 80%).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Intradermal paraareolar ultrasound injection of contrast agent provides a high rate of lymph node (SLN) identification and predict the status and metastatic burden of axillary lymph nodes. Multiparametric ultrasound, combining B-mode, color Doppler, and CEUS improves the diagnostic accuracy of axillary staging in patients with breast cancer.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ультразвуковое исследование с контрастированием</kwd><kwd>сигнальный лимфатический узел</kwd><kwd>рак молочной железы</kwd><kwd>мультипараметрическое ультразвуковое исследование</kwd><kwd>ультразвуковой контрастный препарат</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>contrast-enhanced ultrasound</kwd><kwd>sentinel lymph node</kwd><kwd>breast cancer</kwd><kwd>multiparametric ultrasound</kwd><kwd>ultrasound contrast agent</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Нартокова А.С.-Х., Койчуев А.А., Марченко А.Г., Нартоков Д.Н.
