Summary

Tissue elasticity is being increasingly used as diagnostic parameter, since at the macroscopic level benign breast lesions tend to be stiffer than normal breast tissue but softer than breast cancers. Ultrasound elastography allows to probe the elasticity of breast lesions in clinics. Real time elastography (RTE) and shear wave elastography (SWE) are the two most widely used elastography modalities.

Assessment of breast lesions by either RTE or SWE improve the diagnostic performance of standard B-mode ultrasound (US) and have the potential to assist the decision about whether to perform a breast biopsy or not.
