Breast elastography
Abstract
Mammamatra and ultrasonography are the most sensitive diagnostic methods for diagnosing breast cancer. But there are certain limitations for both methods. Mammography on hardened milk is often misdiagnosed. Ultrasound examination is a sensitive method and it is capable of detecting neoplasm, but often hard knots can be sensitive, which indicates that this technique is not specific enough. This increases the number of biopsies and only 10-30% of cancer cases are detected.
