应变弹性成像 (SE) 可估计组织应变，是传统超声 B 型检查的辅助手段。我们简要介绍 SE 及其临床应用。此外，我们还概述了关于 SE 在乳腺癌诊断中的诊断准确性的 10 项最大研究。 10 项研究中有 8 项提供了 SE 和 B 模式成像的数据。七项研究表明，在乳腺癌诊断中，SE 比 B 型成像具有更好的特异性和准确性。四项研究表明，将 B 模式成像与 SE 相结合可以提高特异性和准确性。五项研究将 B 型成像与 SE 相结合诊断乳腺癌的方式有所不同。我们认为，需要进一步的研究来建立 B 型超声和 SE 联合治疗乳腺癌的最佳算法。
Strain elastography (SE), which estimates tissue strain, is an adjunct to the conventional ultrasound B-mode examination. We present a short introduction to SE and its clinical use. Furthermore, we present an overview of the 10 largest studies performed on the diagnostic accuracy of SE in breast cancer diagnostics. Eight of 10 studies presented data for both SE and B-mode imaging. Seven studies showed better specificity and accuracy for SE than for B-mode imaging in breast cancer diagnosis. Four studies showed an increase in specificity and accuracy when combining B-mode imaging with SE. The ways of combining B-mode imaging with SE in the diagnosis of breast cancer differed between the five studies. We believe that further studies are needed to establish an optimal algorithm for the combination of B-mode ultrasound and SE in breast cancer.
