Abstract:Objective explore the application value of real-time elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in benign and malignant breast masses. Method A total of 195 breast masses from 144 patients in the Department of Breast and Oncology in Anshan Central Hospital from January 2016 to June2018 were randomly divided into group A, group B and group C, with 65 breast masses in each group. Elastography was undertaken in group A, contrast-enhanced ultrasound was used in group B and elastography combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound was performed in group C. The
pathological examination results were used as the gold standard, and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the three examination methods for breast lumps were analyzed and compared. Results The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of real-time elastography combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound
were significantly higher than single examination. The difference between the three groups was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion The diagnosis of ultrasound real-time elastography combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound is more accurate than using a single examination.
