Identification of pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer: comparison of greyscale ultrasound, shear wave elastography, and MRI

To assess the value of post-treatment shear-wave elastography (SWE) parameters (maximum stiffness [Emax], mean stiffness [Emean], and standard deviation [SD]) compared to greyscale ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in breast cancer.
