Shear wave versus strain elastography in the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions

Abstract: Background/aim: To evaluate and compare the diagnostic performances of shear wave elastography (SWE) and strain elastography (SE) in the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions. Materials and methods:The current study included 87 breast lesions in 84 patients. The Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) categories were determined with ultrasound features. The maximum shear wave velocity (SWV), mean SWV, maximum SWV to fat SWV ratio, and mean SWV to fat SWV ratio were measured using SWE… Show more

“…Malignant tumors have been reported to be harder in consistency than benign tumors, notably breast and thyroid carcinomas [14]. The abundance of stromal brous reaction in some carcinomas, for example in breast carcinoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma or pancreatic adenocarcinoma, or the high cell density in some malignant tumors such as prostate and lung carcinomas, combined with the strong attachment of malignant cells to surrounding tumors, may explain this nding [15].…”

“…US and MRI often fail to confidently separate benign from malignant in soft-tissue masses. Malignant tumors have been reported to be harder in consistency than benign tumors, notably breast and thyroid carcinomas [ 20 ]. The abundance of stromal fibrous reaction in some carcinomas, for example in breast carcinoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma or pancreatic adenocarcinoma, or the high cell density in some malignant tumors such as prostate and lung carcinomas, combined with the strong attachment of malignant cells to surrounding tumors, may explain this finding [ 21 ].…”

“…Therefore, a delayed diagnosis may result in an undesirable outcome during the treatment of patients [11][12][13]. The American College of Radiology (ACR) created the BI-RADS to diminish variation in the radiologists' descriptions of findings used for diagnosis [14].…”
