Three Dimentional Elastography of Breast Tumor

Abstract

Brief Description of the Purpose of the StudyReal Time Tissue Elastography is capable to differenｔiate breast tumor whether it is malignant or benign. Authors tried to construct three dimensional elastography of breast tumors and studied whether it is possible to differentiate the tumor is benign or malignant.MethodsThree dimensional elastography was ;performed for 70 cases of breast tumor, including 51 benign and 19 malignant tumors. Ultrasonic equipment HIVISION Ascendus with automatic linear probe EUP-LV74 was used. The probe moves electric linear transducer mechanically for obtain three dimensional elastography. 3D Elastography image is superimposed on 3D B-mode image. Hard tissue is colored blue and soft tissue is read. 3D image is displayed as volume rendering.Main ResultsBenign tumors, 40 out of 51 (78.5%) were shown as less blue or hard parts and while malignant tumors, 16 out of 19 (84.2%) were displayed as irregular shaped solid mas by 3D elastography.Importance of the ConclusionsAuthors could construct 3D images of breast tumors. 3D Elastography is able to differentiate breast tumors whether it is benign or malignant.
