Practice guideline for the performance of breast ultrasound elastography
Ultrasound (US) elastography is a valuable imaging technique for tissue characterization. Two main types of elastography, strain and shear-wave, are commonly used to image breast tissue. The use of elastography is expected to increase, particularly with the increased use of US for breast screening. Recently, the US elastographic features of breast masses have been incorporated into the 2nd edit...
متن کاملUltrasound Diagnosis of Breast Cancer
Ultrasound is a popular imaging modality for its safety and low cost. Its role in the diagnosis of breast cancer is discussed, and its performance is then compared those of mammography (gold standard) and MRI. Besides conventional B-mode and color or power Doppler ultrasound images, latest development of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) and supersonic shear imaging and their application ...
متن کاملMechanics of ultrasound elastography
Ultrasound elastography enables in vivo measurement of the mechanical properties of living soft tissues in a non-destructive and non-invasive manner and has attracted considerable interest for clinical use in recent years. Continuum mechanics plays an essential role in understanding and improving ultrasound-based elastography methods and is the main focus of this review. In particular, the mech...
متن کاملComponents of Computeraided Diagnosis for Breast Ultrasound
Although breast cancer has very high incidence and death rate, the cause of breast cancer is still unknown and there does not exist effective way to prevent the occurrence of breast cancer. Because early detection is a key role in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, many imaging modalities are continually being developed to screen and diagnose the breast cancer at early stage. Especially, ul...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound in diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions: Elastography or contrast-enhanced harmonic alone versus the combination
Background and study aims Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography (EUS-E) and contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (CH-EUS) are useful methods for the diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. This study aims to compare the accuracy of combined EUS-E and CH-EUS with that of EUS-E or CH-EUS alone in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic solid lesions. Patients and methods One hundred thirty-six patient...
