Comparison of diagnostic value of automated breast volume scanner and ultrasonic elastography in breast mass / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the sensitivity,accuracy and specificity between automated breast volume scanner (ABVS) and ultrasonic elastography (UE) in the diagnosis of breast mass.Methods From May 2016 to July 2017,132 patients with breast mass in the No.266 Hospital of PLA were chosen in the research.ABVS,UE and two-dimentional ultrasonography were used for diagnosis,and the diagnostic results were compared with pathological results.Results The sensitivity,accuracy and the specificity of two-dimensional ultrasonography were 76.54％ (62/81),75.0％ (114/152),73.24％ (52/71),respectively,which of UE were 80.25％ (65/81),78.95％ (120/152) and 77.46％ (55/71),respectively,which of ABVS were 88.89％ (72/81),88.16％ (134/152) and 87.32％ (62/71),respectively.The sensitivity of ABVS was higher than that of two-dimensional ultrasonography (x2 =4.318,P＜0.05),while had no statistically significant difference compared with that of UE(x2 =2.318,P ＞ 0.05).The accuracy and specificity of ABVS were higher than those of UE and two-dimensional ultrasonography (accuracyx12 =8.756,x22 =4.692;specificityx12 =4.449,x22 =4.135;all P ＜0.05).Conclusion The sensitivity,accuracy and specificity of ABVS in the diagnosis of breast lesions are high,and doctors from ultrasonic department are recommended to use ABVS to diagnose breast cancer.This can improve the detectable rate of breast cancer and the cure rate and survival rate of patients.
