Outcome measures
Primary outcome
With this study we will investigate whether it is possible to dituinguish
benign from malignant lesions by measuring the shear wave velocity with Virtual
Touch IQ.
Secondary outcome
Not applicable.
Background summary
Virtual Touch IQ elastography is a new ulrasound technique which provides
measurements of tissue elasticity. It uses short duration acoustic pulses to
produce localised displacements in tissue. These displacements can be monitored
both spatially and temporally. This is called a shear wave. Shear wave velocity
(SWV) is proportionnal to the elastic characteristics of the tissue being
examined. Lesions in breast show changes in elasticity. To determine if a
breast lesion is benign or malignant an aditional biopsy is necessary. With
this study we will investigate whether it is possible tot differentiate benign
from malignant lesions in breast with Virtual Touch IQ.
Study objective
With this study we will investigate whether it is possible to dituinguish
benign from malignant lesions with Virtual Touch IQ. This will decrease the
need for additional biopsy. Furthermore it may decrease the false positive
ratio of mammography and 2D ultrasound.
Study design
prospective cohort study
Study burden and risks
There a no risks involved. The examination will take about 15 minutes.
