Abstract
Objective:To investigate the diagnostic efficacy for breast lesions by ultrasound,mammography and enhancedMR examinations.Methods:We collected 378 breast lesions,all had breast ultrasound,mammography and breast enhancedMR examinations before surgical excision.The accuracy,specificity,sensitivity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of each modality were compared.Results:The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of breast ultrasound,mammography and enhanced-MR examinations was 92.81%,89.52%,90.83% and 66.67%,58.20%,60.98% and 98.55%,78.50%,86.43%respectively.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of breast ultrasound and enhanced-MR were higher than mammography.Conclusion:Enhanced-MR had the highest sensitivity,ultrasound had the highest specificity.They both had advantages to diagnose malignant or benign lesions.Also mammography was useful to predict malignant lesions.
