A systematic review conducted by researchers at Tehran University of Medical Sciences in Iran has found that ultrasound elastography can be a valuable tool in distinguishing idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) from breast malignancies. IGM is a benign inflammatory condition of the breasts that can mimic breast cancer on conventional ultrasound. The review analyzed seven studies and found that quantitative measurements such as strain ratio and shear wave velocity were higher in malignant masses compared to IGM. The use of ultrasound elastography could potentially reduce the number of unnecessary tissue biopsies and lead to a more efficient patient evaluation process. [Extracted from the article] |
