چکیده
results of the 133 breast lesions, 32 were malignant and 101 were benign. in the differentiation of benign and malignant lesions, conventional us resulted in sensitivity of 100 %, specificity of 43.0 %, ppv of 57.1 %, npv of 36.7 %, and accuracy of 100 %. regarding swe, the sensitivity, specificity, ppv, npv, and accuracy values based on emax were 84.4 %, 89.1 %, 71.1 %, 94.7 %, and 88.0 %, respectively, and the corresponding values based on emean were 84.8 %, 93.0 %, 91.0 %, 80.0 %, and 94.9 %, respectively. the optimal emax and emean cutoff values were 81.3 and 60.7 kpa, respectively. however, there was no significant difference between emax and emean. the corrected results related to the additional use of swe to conventional us indicated 97.0 % sensitivity, 93.0 % specificity, 82.1 % ppv, 98.9 % npv, and 94.0 % accuracy (p < 0.0001). background quantitative shear wave elastography (swe) has been developed and utilized to aid in the differentiation between benign and malignant breast lesions based on their stiffness. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical effects of the additional use of swe to conventional ultrasound (us) according to the maximum (emax) and mean (emean) elasticitiy values. patients and methods a total 115 patients with 133 lesions were assessed using conventional us and swe. all patients underwent us-guided core needle biopsy or surgery, and the pathological results were used as reference standards. we compared the diagnostic values including sensitivities, specificities, positive predictive values (ppvs) and negative predictive values (npvs) and accuracies of conventional us and swe according to the emax and emean values. next, we obtained the optimal emax and emean cutoff values for swe. using these cutoff values, we analyzed the clinical effects of the additional use of swe to conventional us based on the corrected results. conclusion the additional use of swe to conventional us resulted in marked improvements in specificity, ppv, and accuracy and slight diminutions in sensitivity and npv for the differentiation benign and malignant breast lesions. both emax and emean were effective diagnostic parameters, and there was no significant difference between these two parameters.

Shear-wave elastography for breast masses: local shear wave speed (m/sec) versus Young modulus (kPa)
PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the performance of shear-wave elastography (SWE) for breast masses using the local shear wave speed (m/sec) vs. Young modulus (kPa). METHODS A total of 130 breast lesions in 123 women who underwent SWE before ultrasound- guided core needle biopsy or surgical excision were included. With the region-of-interest placed over the stiffest areas of the lesion on SWE,...
متن کاملEvaluation of the diagnostic function of shear wave elastography in the differentiation of malignant and benign breast masses and its relationship with histological factors
Background: Shear wave elastography (SWE) estimates the stiffness of a mass based on the velocity of shear wave propagation by sound waves. Due to higher cell density and angiogenesis, malignant masses have higher stiffness than benign ones. Methods: The present study was a prospective study and was performed on patients who were referred to Ahvaz Golestan Hospital with breast mass during Marc...
متن کاملPerformance of Shear Wave Elastography for Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Solid Breast Masses
OBJECTIVES To perform a meta-analysis assessing the ability of shear wave elastography (SWE) to identify malignant breast masses. METHODS PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and the ISI Web of Knowledge were searched for studies evaluating the accuracy of SWE for identifying malignant breast masses. The diagnostic accuracy of SWE was evaluated according to sensitivity, specificity, and hierarchical...
متن کاملApplication of 3D and 2D quantitative shear wave elastography (SWE) to differentiate between benign and malignant breast masses
As breast cancer tissues are stiffer than normal tissues, shear wave elastography (SWE) can locally quantify tissue stiffness and provide histological information. Moreover, tissue stiffness can be observed on three-dimensional (3D) colour-coded elasticity maps. Our objective was to evaluate the diagnostic performances of quantitative features in differentiating breast masses by two-dimensional...

Color patterns of 3-dimensional (3D) shear wave elastography (SWE) is a promising method in differentiating tumoral nodules recently. This study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of color patterns of 3D SWE in breast lesions, with special emphasis on coronal planes.A total of 198 consecutive women with 198 breast lesions (125 malignant and 73 benign) were included, who underwent conventio...
متن کاملCurrent status of musculoskeletal application of shear wave elastography
Ultrasonography (US) is a very powerful diagnostic modality for the musculoskeletal system due to the ability to perform real-time dynamic high-resolution examinations with the Doppler technique. In addition to acquiring morphologic data, we can now obtain biomechanical information by quantifying the elasticity of the musculoskeletal structures with US elastography. The earlier diagnosis of deg...
