Comparison of Two Different Ultrasound Devices Using Strain Elastography Technology in the Diagnosis of Breast Lesions Related to the Histologic Results

This study was conducted to provide evidence that elastograms of two different devices and different manufacturers using the same technical approach provide the same diagnoses. A total of 110 breast lesions were prospectively analysed by two experts in ultrasound, using the strain elastography function from two different manufacturers (Hitachi HI-RTE, Hitachi Medical Systems, Wiesbaden, Germany; and Siemens eSie Touch, Siemens Medical Systems, Erlangen, Germany). Results were compared with the histopathologic results.
