ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate ultrasound combined with thri-operators and the blood-oxygen functional image (TOBOFI) technology in diagnosis of breast cancer in young women. Methods 221 breast tumor patients under 45 years old were selected to analyze their TOBOFI and ultrasonographic characteristics respectively. Based on pathological result, the two diagnostic methods were compared to determine the accurate rate. Results Of all the 221 patients, 82 (37.1%) were malignant and 139 benign. The sensitivity of TOBOFI and ultrasonography was 90.24% and 83.57% respectively, while the accurate rate of the two was 89.14% and 84 62% respectively. Accurate rate was improved to 93.90 % (77/82) if the two were combined. Conclusion TOBOFI has unique clinical value in diagnosing breast cancer in young women, especially in combination with ultrasound.
