Second-Look Ultrasound Using Shear-Wave Elastography in  MRI-Suspected Locoregional Recurrence of Breast Carcinoma.

CONCLUSION:  Stiffer lesions should be considered suspicious on second-look US in the postoperative breast and SWE can be a helpful tool in identifying malignant lesions, especially if this is related to restricted diffusion on MRI exam. Lesion stiffness, however, should not be considered as an independent predictor of lesion malignancy in the postoperative breast, because of benign changes that can appear stiff on SWE, as well as carcinoma recurrences that may appear soft.
