Ultrasound Elastography of Breast Lesions
Completed
Conditions studied: Breast Neoplasms
In brief
Our hypothesis is that the addition of ShearWave Elastography (SWE) to a conventional breast ultrasound examination provides useful information for the radiologist when imaging lesions in the breast, as compared to conventional grayscale ultrasound alone.
