Abstract
Objective: To explore the value of color Doppler ultrasound combined with ultrasonic elastography in diagnosis of early breast cancer. Methods: Color Doppler ultrasonography combined with ultrasonic elastography was used to examine 242 patients( 286 breast lesions) with breast masses,then the results were compared with pathological diagnosis. Results: The sensitivity,specificity and accuracyof color Doppler ultrasound in diagnosis of early breast cancer were 91. 1%,75. 9% and 81. 8%,respectively. The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of ultrasonic elastography in diagnosis of early breast cancer were 89. 3%,82. 2% and 85. 0%,respectively. And the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of joint detection of color Doppler ultrasound and ultrasonic elastography in diagnosis of early breast cancer were94. 6%,87. 9% and 90. 6%,respectively,which were significantly higher than those of single application of color Doppler ultrasound and ultrasonic elastography. Conclusion: Joint application of color Doppler ultrasound and ultrasonic elastography can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy and specificity of early breast cancer.
