Combination of S-Detect and strain elastography in the conventional ultrasonic diagnosis of breast tumors / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the value of s-detect combined with elastography in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors.Methods:The ultrasound diagnosis data of 136 patients with breast mass examined by ultrasound in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from April 2018 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The breast lesions diagnosed as BI-RADS 3 or above were analyzed by conventional ultrasound, strain elastic imaging strain ratio (SR) and S-Detect Computer-aided Diagnosis (CAD) technology successively and were used for cross-sectional study. The corresponding benign and malignant judgment results were obtained, and the efficacy of individual diagnosis and combined diagnosis were compared and analyzed.Results:Conventional ultrasound, SR, S-Detect alone and conventional ultrasound+SR, conventional ultrasound+S-detect, conventional ultrasound + S-detect +SR combined diagnosis of breast tumors, the area under the receiver operating curve (AREA under the receiver operating curve) Characteristic curve, AUC) were 0.776, 0.839, 0.802, 0.861, 0.832 and 0.870, respectively. SR, S-Detect, conventional ultrasound +SR, conventional ultrasound + S-detect and conventional ultrasound +SR+ S-detect were compared with conventional ultrasound group, Z values were 1.49, 0.70, 2.76, 2.52, 2.96, respectively, and P values were 0.137, 0.484, 0.006, 0.012 and 0.003, respectively. The difference was statistically significant. The accuracy of conventional ultrasound +S-Detect+SR was the highest (84.1%), compared with pathological results, its Kappa value was 0.687, showing the strongest consistency. Conclusion:S-detect combined with strain elastography assisted by conventional ultrasound can significantly improve the diagnostic efficiency of benign and malignant breast tumors.
