Axillary lymph node (LN) metastasis is the most important predictor of overall recurrence and
survival in patients with breast cancer, and accurate assessment of axillary LN involvement …

Conventional ultrasound (US) is the recommended imaging method for lymph node (LN)
diseases with the advantages of high resolution, real time evaluation and relative low costs …

Serial assessment of the biomechanical properties of tissues can be used to aid the early
detection and management of pathophysiological conditions, to track the evolution of lesions …

Breast elastography is being increasingly used to better characterize breast lesions.
Published studies have shown that it improved specificity of B mode ultrasound. Two …

BACKGROUND: Real-time elastography (RTE), as a non-invasive method, is used for the
classification of benign and malignant lymph nodes (LNs) and developed as an alternative …

The aim of this study was to evaluate shear wave elastography (SWE) for pre-operative
evaluation of axillary lymph node (LN) status in patients with suspected breast cancer. A …

Strain elastography as used in EUS (EUS-real-time tissue elastography [RTE]) is a
qualitative technique and provides information on the relative stiffness between one tissue …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to report the positive predictive value (PPV) of
ultrasound of the axilla to predict pN2 or higher disease in breast cancer patients …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of multimodal
ultrasonography, including SWE and CEUS, for the differentiation of benign and malignant …

Distinguishing malignant versus benign lymphadenopathies is a major diagnostic dilemma
in clinical medicine. Metastatic deposits in normal-sized lymph nodes (LNs) can be smaller …
