Comparative Study in Ultrasonic Elastography and BI-RADS in Diagnosis of Breast Carcinoma
Abstract：Objective:To compare the value of ultrasonic elastography (UE) and breast imaging report and data system(BI-RADS) in the differential diagnosis of breast carcinoma.Method:Seventy-eight patients with breast solid lesion were enrolled in this study. All the patients were examined by breast imaging report and data system(BI-RADS)and ultrasonic elastography(UE). In the UE examination,the results greater than or equal to 4 are diagnosed with malignance;in the BI-RADS classification,level greater than or equal to 4 was standard for the diagnosis of malignance.Result:The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and Youden index of UE were 89.5%,88.4%,89.1%and 0.779 respectively,and those of BI-RADS were 76.3%,44.2%,64.7%and 0.205,respectively. The Youden index of UE was significantly higher than that of BI-RADS(P=0.000).Conclusion:In the diagnosis of breast cancer,the diagnostic value of UE is higher than BI-RADS. If we combine the two methods to check patients in clinical applications,we may greatly improve the accuracy of diagnosis of breast cancer.
