Correlation between ultrasonic elastography and pathological characters of breast carcinoma / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze ultrasonic elastography (UE) score of breast carcinoma and to explore the correlation between UE and pathological collagen content in stroma.Methods UE scores of 60 breast carcinoma before operation were retrospectively studied.The correlation between the UE scores and the pathological collagen content grading in stroma after operation were analyzed.Results UE score of 60 breast carcinoma were (4.07 ± 0.78) scores,the diagnosis coincidence rate of UE score was 80.0％ (48/60).Positive correlation existed between UE score and the pathological collagen content grading in stroma of breast carcinoma (r =0.440,P =0.015).Conclusion UE score of breast carcinoma is related to the pathological collagen content in stroma,and it can evaluate collagen content in stroma of breast masses in some degree.
