Differentiating between malignant and benign breast masses: factors limiting sonoelastographic strain ratio.
PURPOSE We compared strain ratio vs. qualitative elastography for the further differentiation of focal breast lesions, with special focus on limiting factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS 215 patients with 224 histologically proven breast masses (116 malignant, 108 benign) were prospectively examined using a high-end ultrasound system (Philips iU22) with serial elastography function. B-mode scans an...
متن کاملTL-201 Scanning and in Differentiating Malignant from Benign Masses of Breast
Physical examination and mammography are currently the only proven and reliable methods of early detection of breast cancer. Although, both procedures are highly sensitive, their limited specificity often requires surgical biopsy in order to differentiate between malignant and benign lesions.Palpable mass abnormalities of breast are often difficult to evaluate mammographically, especially in pa...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of strain elastography for differentiating benign and malignant soft tissue masses
The aim of the current study was to investigate the importance of strain elastography (SE) in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant soft tissue masses. SE was adopted to examine 61 patients with superficial masses, classify their elastic scores and assess their strain ratios (SRs) between the masses and the surrounding structures. Significantly increased SR values and elastic score...
متن کاملEfficacy of Sonoelastography in Distinguishing Benign from Malignant Breast Masses.
OBJECTIVE The study aimed to evaluate the influence of sonoelastographic strain ratio in distinguishing benign from malignant breast masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who were referred for diagnostic biopsy of a breast mass were examined by ultrasound and sonoelastography prior to percutaneous biopsy. Sonoelastography was performed twice by the same observer in the same session. The stra...
متن کاملBenign versus malignant solid breast masses: US differentiation.
PURPOSE To investigate the general applicability and interobserver variability of ultrasonographic (US) features in differentiating benign from malignant solid breast masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred sixty-two consecutive solid masses with a tissue diagnosis were reviewed. Three radiologists reviewed the masses without knowledge of clinical history or histologic examination results. ...
