US-Elastography for breast lesion characterization: prospective comparison of US BIRADS, Strain Elastography and Shear wave Elastography
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of strain elastography (SE) and 2 D shear wave elastography (SWE) and SE/SWE combination in comparison with conventional multiparametric ultrasound (US) with respect to improving BI-RADS classification results and differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions using a qualitative and quantitative assessment.
