Abstract：The incidence of papillary thyroid cancer(PTC)is increasing year by year,and accurate preoperative diagnosis plays a crucial role in clinical management and prognosis.Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is a non-invasive,real-time imaging technique that enhances tissue contrast through intravenous injection of ultrasound contrast agents,dynamically displaying microcirculation perfusion information of lesions and enabling qualitative and quantitative analysis.The integration of Contrast-enhanced ultrasound with novel technologies such as radiomics and deep learning holds promising potential in early disease diagnosis and treatment evaluation.This article reviews the principles of thyroid contrast-enhanced ultrasound,the application of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis of PTC,the evaluation of PTC treatment effects,and the research on related new technologies in contrast-enhanced ultrasound.It aims to provide guidance for the precise diagnosis and treatment practice of PTC.
