Combined Use of Shear Wave Elastography, Microvascular Doppler Ultrasound Technique, and BI-RADS for the Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Breast Masses

Abstract

Combination of qualitative SWE and AP with BI-RADS improved the diagnostic performance in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions, which is helpful for avoiding unnecessary biopsies. However, we should be careful about the downgrading of sub-centimeter BI-RADS 4a category lesions.
