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 ARFI.
Secondary outcome
not applicable
Background summary
Acoustic radiotion force impulse (ARFI) elastography is a new ulrasound
technique which provides measurements of tissue elasticity. AFi 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.
Study objective
With this study we will investigate whether it is possible to dituinguish
benign from malignant lesions with ARFI. 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.
