Objective To evaluate the role of high frequency ultrasonography (HFU) and color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) features in the diagnosis of breast cancer.
Breast cancer shows up larger on an elastogram than it does on a traditional ultrasound image, perhaps because the elastogram can "see" the scar tissue around the cancer, Ophir said.
Methods A total of 57 cases with breast cancer confirmed by operation, were analyzed and reviewed The contour margin, internal calcification, retrotumoral echo and surrounding tissues were observed.
