Ultrasound elastography improves differentiation between benign and malignant breast lumps using B-mode ultrasound and color Doppler

Conclusion Combined use of B-mode US, UE and color Doppler achieved NPV of 95% thus allowed sparing of unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures. UE as a sole diagnostic test has high sensitivity and specificity. Mammography could be used as screening test for its high sensitivity.
