Abstract:
In recent years, the incidence of breast cancer kept increasing, and the patients tended to be younger. The differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast neoplasms is the focus of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a new ultrasound quantitative technology, which has important value in clinical application of breast, thyroid, parotid gland, testis, et al. The advancements of SWE in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast neoplasms were reviewed in this article.
