There is a large body of published material that supports the use of elastography, both strain and shear wave, for characterization of breast lesions. To a lesser extent, elastography can be used in the detection of breast abnormalities. This article reviews the principles of elastography regarding breast imaging, reviews the techniques to perform both strain and shear wave elastography, and reviews the literature and discusses how elastography can be used to improve the characterization of breast lesions to allow for decrease in the number of short-term follow-up examinations and benign biopsies.
有大量已发表的材料支持使用弹性成像技术（包括应变弹性成像和剪切波弹性成像）来对乳腺病变进行特征描述。在较小程度上，弹性成像可用于乳腺异常的检测。本文回顾了乳腺成像中弹性成像的原理，回顾了进行应变弹性成像和剪切波弹性成像的技术，并回顾了相关文献，讨论了弹性成像如何用于改善乳腺病变的特征描述，从而减少短期随访检查和良性活检的数量。
