Abstract
This study to search the diagnostic performance of shear wave elastography(SWE) in breast mass and to compare the biopsy result and stiffness obtained from shear wave elastography. Diagnostic breast ultrasonography and SWE were targeted for 157 patients who had breast ultrasonography was diagnosed mass from June 2017 to September 2017. Pathology results of 157 patients showed a benign 92 patients(Age, $44.54{\pm}11.84$) and a malignancy 65 patients(Age, $51.55{\pm}10.54$). Final evaluation, biopsy result, and quantitative SWE result were obtained and compared with each other according to Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System(BI-RADS) of diagnostic breast ultrasonography. Quantitative SWE value and pathologic result showed the highest diagnostic specificity of 83.70% in Emean and sensitivity of 89.23% in Emin. Quantitative SWE result and biopsy result is statistically significant.(p=0.000). The optimal cut-off value for malignant lesions was 66.3 kPa and 63.7 kPa, respectively, for the sensitivity, specificity, high maximum mean elasticity value(Emax) and mean elasticity value(Emean) and this showed the highest diagnostic area under the ROC curve(Az) value compared to other SWE measurement(p=0.000). The addition of SWE to conventional US in breast mass make a increase diagnostic specificity and reduce unnecessary biopsy. Therefore, it is expected that it will be helpful to analyze the breast mass using the above analysis and apparatus.
