Popis: Abstract There are few radiogenomic studies to correlate ultrasound features of breast cancer with genomic changes. We investigated whether vascular ultrasound phenotypes are associated with breast cancer gene profiles for predicting angiogenesis and prognosis. We prospectively correlated quantitative and qualitative features of microvascular ultrasound (vascular index, vessel morphology, distribution, and penetrating vessel) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (time–intensity curve parameters and enhancement pattern) with genomic characteristics in 31 breast cancers. DNA obtained from breast tumors and normal tissues were analyzed using targeted next-generation sequencing of 105 genes. The single-variant association test was used to identify correlations between vascular ultrasound features and genomic profiles. Chi-square analysis was used to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with ultrasound features by estimating p values and odds ratios (ORs). Eight ultrasound features were significantly associated with 9 SNPs (p
