Abstract: Tuberculosis is still one of the most deadly diseases today, second only to AIDS, and one of the top 10 diseases that damage people's health.Because of the long incubation period of tuberculosis, most patients with early symptoms are not obvious, easy to be ignored, so as to miss the best time for treatment.In recent years, ultrasound elastography, interventional ultrasound, ultrasonic contrast, super micro-vascular imaging and other new ultrasound technologies have been widely used in clinical practice due to their advantages of simplicity, noninvasive and high efficiency.In addition, ultrasound has a high detection rate of superficial lymph node diseases.Therefore, compared with other imaging examinations, ultrasound can be used as the first choice for the early diagnosis of this disease.In order to better understand the clinical application value of these new ultrasound techniques in cervical lymph node tuberculosis, this article reviews the application value of new ultrasound technique in cervical lymph node tuberculosis.
