TY - JOUR AU - Ahmed, Ahmed Tohamy PY - 2020 DA - 2020/05/04 TI - Diagnostic utility of strain and shear wave ultrasound elastography in differentiation of benign and malignant solid breast lesions JO - Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine SP - 70 VL - 51 IS - 1 AB - The purpose of our study was to assess diagnostic performance and comparison of strain and shear wave ultrasound elastography for differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions compared to histopathological diagnosis as a reference standard. Our single center study involved 100 female patients with 132 solid breast masses. All patients underwent supervision of medical history, clinical examination, conventional B-mode ultrasound which was evaluated according to the BIRADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System), and strain and shear wave ultrasound elastography. Strain ratio for strain elastography, mean elasticity value, and stiff ratio for shear wave elastography were calculated. All breast lesions were biopsied. Comparison of the elastography results with the histopathological diagnoses was done. SN - 2090-4762 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s43055-020-00181-7 DO - 10.1186/s43055-020-00181-7 ID - Ahmed2020 ER -
