With new elasticity imaging software used on standard ultrasound systems, clinicians can now noninvasively differentiate benign and malignant breast lesions with high sensitivity and specificity. While the standard of care for the diagnosis of breast cancer still involves biopsies, the authors highlight the potential for elastography to significantly reduce the number of biopsies of benign breast lesions.</p>Friday, 28 Sep 2012 17:14:26 GMT
