The importance of ultrasound examination in the diagnosis of breast cancer has been widely demonstrated. During the last few years, the introduction of ultrasound contrast media has been considered a promising tool for studying the vascular pattern of focal lesions within the breast. Our purpose was to assess whether contrast-enhanced (CE) ultrasound examination, performed using specific contrast imaging modes, can be helpful for detection and characterization of breast lesions, and for prediction of the response of breast cancer to therapy.
超声检查在乳腺癌诊断中的重要性已得到广泛证实。在过去几年中,超声造影剂的引入被认为是研究乳腺局灶性病变血管模式的一种有前景的工具。我们的目的是评估使用特定造影成像模式进行的超声造影(CE)检查是否有助于乳腺病变的检测和特征描述,以及预测乳腺癌对治疗的反应。
