Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Breast elastography is an advanced sonographic technique offering insights into breast lesion characteristics.
  • It complements conventional ultrasonography (US) and mammography by assessing tissue stiffness noninvasively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the fundamental principles, performance, and interpretation of breast elastography.
  • To present findings from major clinical studies evaluating its efficacy in breast lesion assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of strain elastography and shear wave elastography techniques.
  • Overview of examination procedures and image interpretation guidelines.

Main Results:

  • Elastography shows promise in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions.
  • Clinical trials suggest a significant potential to reduce the need for biopsies and minimize benign biopsy diagnoses.

Conclusions:

  • Breast elastography is a valuable tool for breast lesion evaluation.
  • Proper training and technical expertise are crucial for accurate image acquisition and interpretation to avoid common pitfalls.
