Table 3 Relation between elastographic strain ratio and final histopathological diagnosis

From: B-mode ultrasound, color Doppler, and sonoelastography in differentiation between benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes with special emphasis on sonoelastography

		Histopathology		P value
		Benign	Malignant
		N = 26	N = 58
Strain ratio (SR)	Range Mean ± SD Median/(IQR)	0.3–2.9 1.2 ± 0.7 1/(0.5–1.2)	1.6–4.2 3.3 ± 0.8 3.3/(2.5–3.8)	< 0.001*

Mann–Whitney test for non-parametric quantitative data between the two groups
Fisher exact test for qualitative data between the two groups
*Significant level at P value < 0.05
