[The application of color Doppler ultrasound technique in diagnosing the lumps of salivary gland].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the value of color doppler ultrasound technique in diagnosing the lumps of salivary gland.


METHODS
233 cases of salivary gland lumps were examined with color doppler high frequency ultrusound technique. Among them were, 189 cases benign and the others malignant.


RESULTS
Color doppler ultrasound technique could not only show the morphology, structure, sizc, location and adjoining relationship, but also indicate the pathological classification according to the blood supply. The total coincident rate of this ultrasound diagnosis to the pathological one was 89.3%.


CONCLUSIONS
Color doppler ultrasound technique is a simple and harmless diagnosing method and could preoperatively give a reliable information to the decision of surgical plan.
