Methods A total of 313 patients with breast masses were examined with IFS and mammography. The diagnosis accordance rate by IFS and mammography was compared with that by pathological diagnosis. Results There was significant difference in the diagnosis of fibroadenoma between IFS and mammography (P

The diagnosis of breast masses using infrared light scanning with color doppler flow image / 中国普通外科杂志

From 1993 to 1995,117 patients with breast masses were admitted to Ji Shun Tan Hospital. Among these patients,there were 69 cases of cancer and 48 benign lesions. Both were verified by operation and pathology. All of these cases were examined by infrared light scanning(ILS) and color doppler flow image(CDFI) before operation. The diagnostic accuracy rate increased from 62.4% to 86.3% by ILS with CDFI comparing with clinical palpation. The misdiagnostic rates of ILS with CDFI were of 4.3% on cancer and 6.3% on benign lesion. The reasons of misdiagnoses were analyzed in the paper.
