Abstract:
Objective To explore the consistency of different physicians in diagnosis of malignant breast lesions with breast CEUS predictive model.Methods Totally 953 patients with solitary breast nodule from multicenter who underwent ultrasound and CEUS were collected.The research team was composed by the initial group (one junior physician from each hospital),check group (one or two physicians who had at least two-year experience of CEUS examination from each hospital),research group (two senior physicians from Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital) and cross-blinded group (one or two vice directors or chief physicians from each hospital).At first,the lesions were classified according to the breast imaging reporting and data system (BI RADS) by the initial group and the check group,then new BI RADS classifications were performed by research group and cross blind group with breast CEUS predictive model.The consistency of different physicians in diagnosis of malignant breast lesions was analyzed.Results Among 953 patients,benign lesions were found in 451 patients (451/953,47.32％),malignant lesions were found in 435 patients (435/953,45.65％),and precancerous lesions were found in 67 patients (67/953,7.03％).The accuracy of the initial group,check group,research group and cross-blinded group was 71.67％(683/953),74.92％(714/953),80.17％ (764/953) and 83.42 ％ (795/953),respectively.The consistency of different physicians for diagnosis of malignant breast lesions between initial group and check group was good (Kappa =0.82,P＜0.001),while between initial group and crossblinded group,initial group and research group were both moderate (Kappa =0.56,0.41;all P＜0.001).The consistency of different physicians for diagnosis of malignant breast lesions between cheek group and cross-blinded group,between check group and research group were both moderate (Kappa =0.68,0.51;all P＜0.001).The consistency between research group and cross-blinded group with breast CEUS predictive model was moderate (Kappa =0.74,P＜ 0.001).Conclusion The consistency of different physicians in diagnosis of malignant breast lesions with breast CEUS predictive model was moderate.
