“…According to the performance, the proposed strain feature set can be the complement to the conventional B-mode features for breast tumor diagnosis. The result is in agreement with Alhabshi et al [46] that the combining of strain and B-mode features obtained the best results in detecting carcinoma and in reducing unnecessary biopsy (Az ¼0.93 vs. Az ¼0.95 in [46]). …”

“…In a study using B-mode, strain pattern (elasticity score), width ratio, and strain ratio, Alhabshi et al (Alhabshi, Rahmat et al 2013) reported that width ratio and strain ratio were the most useful methods of lesion characterization, with a cut-off value of 1.1 for width ratio and a cut-off value of 5.6 for strain ratio. Stachs et al (Stachs, Hartmann et al 2013) demonstrated the FLR utility in 224 breast masses in 215 patients that the strain ratio was predominantly higher in malignant tumors, i.e., 3.04 6 0.9 (Mean 6 SD) for malignant tumors versus 1.91 6 0.75 for benign tumors.…”

“…There are also some authors that recommend higher cut-off values, up to 5.6 [40]. Also, some authors identified a specific threshold for malignant lesions, 3.04±0.9 with suggestive values for benign lesions, 1.91±0.75 [41].…”
