Abstract Objective: To investigate the value of conventional ultrasound image features and virtual touch tissue imaging(VTI) in the estimate of cervical lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC). Methods: According to the postoperative pathological results, 77 patients with PTC were divided into lymph node metastasis group and non-metastasis group. The preoperative routine ultrasound images and VTI grades were analyzed to compare the correlation between each factor and lymph node metastasis. Assign each independent risk factor to 1, calculate the score for each nodule, receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to determine the cut off spot. Results: Monofactor and multivariate analysis showed the micro-calcification, very hypoechoic, flow grade of Ⅱ~Ⅲ and VTI grade 6 were independent risk factors with cervical lymph node metastasis(P<0.05). The ROC curve showed that when PTC primary tumors had ≥2 independent risk factors, it had a high predictive value for cervical lymph node metastasis, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy of predicting cervical lymph nodes metastasis was 94.7%, 82.1%, 88.3% respectively. Conclusion: Conventional ultrasound image features and VTI can predict cervical lymph node metastasis. Micro-calcification, very hypoechoic, flow grade of Ⅱ~Ⅲ and VTI grade 6 were independent risk factors for cervical lymph node metastasis.
