Value of Micropure Technology with Ultrasonography in Detecting Microcalcification of Breast Masses

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of micropure technology with ultrasonography in detecting micro-calcification of breast masses. Methods:87 breast masses were examined with high-frequency ultrasound and Micropure technology,compared the ability in the detection micro calcification in breast benign, malignant tumors between the two methods.Results:53 micro-calcification were detected by MicroPure imaging technology in patients with malignant tumor of breast,while 37 micro-calcification were detected by high frequency ultrasound in 87 breast masses,there was significant differences(P0.05). 5 micro-calcification cases were detected in 21 benign breast masses(23.81%), and 48 micro-calcification cases were detected in 66 malignant masses(72.73%), with significant difference between the two groups(P0.05). In 5 cases of benign micro-calcifications detected, 3 cases were scattered, 2 cases were less calcification. While in 48 cases detected micro-calcification in malignant masses, 30 cases of micro-calcification clusters(62.50%), 16 cases were scattered in the distribution(33.33%), 2 cases were less calcification(4.17%).Conclusions:The ability of ultrasonic Micropure technology showing breast microcalcification was stronger than conventional ultrasound. With or without micro-calcification, and the distribution characteristics of micro-calcification in breast masses, may help to differentiate the nature of the lesions.
