3D elastography performs well in automated breast volume scanning
3D elastography can be applied to an automated breast volume scanner to analyze in vivo strain images, according to a study published December 15 in Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology. Researchers led by Gijs Hendriks from Radboud University Medical Center found that strain elastography could differentiate between malignant and benign breast lesions when applied to the automated scanner, imaging these in three dimensions. “The results indicate that maximal principal strain ratios were significantly increased in malignant lesions compared with benign lesions including fibro-adenoma,” Hendriks and colleagues wrote. ...

AI predicts malignancy on breast ultrasound
An AI model can accurately predict malignancy on breast ultrasound based on BI-RADS assessment, according to research published December 11 in Academic Radiology. A team led by Nilgun Guldogan, MD, from Acibadem Altunizade Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, found that an AI method showed comparable performance to that of radiologists and can help avoid unnecessary biopsies and follow-up exams. “By considering AI-assigned BI-RADS 2 as safe, we could potentially avoid 11% of benign lesion biopsies and 46.2% of follow-ups,” the Guldogan team wrote. Previous studies have demonstrated how AI can be applied to breast ultrasou...
