Objective This study evaluated the diagnostic value of adding magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to multimodal ultrasound for breast cancer, where multimodal ultrasound consisted of two-dimensional imaging and the strain ratio (SR) from elastography. Methods We enrolled 180 patients with breast lesions who were admitted to our hospital between August 2023 and August 2025. All patients underwent multimodal ultrasound and MRI examinations. Multimodal ultrasound included two-dimensional imaging and ultrasound elastography with strain ratio measurement. Breast cancer detection rates were assessed for each imaging method. The diagnostic performance of multimodal ultrasound alone, MRI alone, and the two methods combined was compared. Results Among the 180 patients, 82 (45.56%) had benign lesions and 98 (54.44%) had malignant lesions. The numbers of cases consistent with pathological diagnosis were 152 for multimodal ultrasound, 145 for MRI, and 160 for their combination. The sensitivity of the combined diagnosis was 95.92%, which exceeded that of multimodal ultrasound alone (84.69%) and MRI alone (79.59%). The negative predictive value of the combined diagnosis was 94.29%, which was significantly higher than that of MRI alone (77.01%, P<0.05). Conclusion Combining MRI with multimodal ultrasound based on SR and two-dimensional ultrasound significantly improves the differential diagnosis of breast cancer. This strategy compensates for the limitations of using a single modality and provides a more reliable imaging basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Objective To explore the experiences of children with Crohn's disease and their parents regarding the exclusion diet,and to provide a basis for formulating personalized dietary guidance programs.Methods A total of 12 children with Crohn's disease and their parents,hospitalized in the Department of Gastroenterology at a tertiary children's hospital in Guangzhou from June to December 2023,were selected as research subjects using objective sampling.Semi-structured interviews were conducted,and the data were analyzed and refined using Colaizzi's seven-step analysis method.Results Totally 3 themes and 14 sub-themes were extracted.①Lack of cognition and trust in Crohn's disease exclusion diet(unfamiliarity with the contents of the diet,misunderstanding of the diet's preparation,inadequate response to daily exclusion diet practices,parents' distrust in the exclusion diet).②The practical challenges of the Crohn's disease exclusion diet(the challenge of personal dietary preferences,the challenge of family meal preparation,the challenge of school feeding,food intolerance,feelings of monotony and weariness following the exclusion diet).③Innovations in practicing the Crohn's disease exclusion diet(managing taste fatigue,managing visual fatigue,innovative cooking methods,prioritizing exclusive enteral nutrition followed by the exclusion diet,overcoming the desire for universal food).Conclusion Children with Crohn's disease and their parents exhibit insufficient cognition and trust in the exclusion diet and face various challenges in practice.Clinical medical staff should adopt personalized coping strategies tailored to the specific circumstances of each child.
