Abstract:
Objective To compare elasticity imaging and conventional ultrasound when applied to the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors.Methods Totally 124 breast tumor patients (140 lesions) from some hospital were analyzed retrospectively,who were divided into a control group and an observation group according to ultrasound examination ways.The control group involved in 60 patients with 66 lesions undergoing conventional ultrasound examination,and the observation group had 64 patients with 74 lesions undergoing elasticity imaging.Pathological findings were considered as gold standard,and the two groups were compared on accuracy,specificity and sensitivity.Results Pathological detection found the accuracy,specificity and sensitivity of the malignant tumor in the control group were 85.00％,84.78％ and 84.85％ respectively,and the ones of the malignant tumor in the observation group were 95.83％,96.00％ and 95.95％ respectively.The two groups had significant differences between the accuracies,specificities and sensitivities (P＜0.05).Conclusion Elasticity imaging describes the size,shape,number,margin and etc of the breast tumor,and thus can enhance the accuracy,specificity and sensitivity for diagnosing breast tumors.
