Diagnostic performances of shear-wave elastography and B-mode ultrasound to differentiate benign and malignant breast lesions: the emphasis on the cutoff value of qualitative and quantitative parameters

摘要

Purpose: To investigate the most effective cutoff values for shear-wave elastography (SWE) for differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions and to evaluate the diagnostic performance of quantitative and qualitative SWE in combination with B-mode ultrasound (US).
