AIM: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the quantitative measurement of peripheral tissue elasticity using shear-wave elastography (SWE) in differentiating between benign and malignant breast lesions detected by ultrasonography (US).MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was approved by institutional review board; informed consent was signed from all patients. From June 2012 to April 2014, conventional B mode US and SWE were performed in 205 breast lesions (78 malignant, 127 benign) of 205 consecutive women (mean age, 41.9 +/- 12.3 years; age range, 18-76 years). For each lesion, a rim around its contour was constructed by using a computer-aided tool, including adequate adjacent peripheral tissue. Quantitative elastographic features of the rim (elasticity mean, maximum, standard deviation, and elasticity ratio) as well as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System.(BI-RADS) categories were assessed according to the final histopathological results. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed to evaluate the diagnostic performances for the three data sets (conventional B-mode US alone, SWE features alone, and combined B mode US and SWE features).RESULTS: SWE features of the peripheral tissue differed significantly between benign and malignant breast lesions (mean +/- standard deviation [SD]: elasticity mean, 16.1 +/- 6.6 versus 43.6 +/- 17.8; maximum, 55.4 +/- 31.4 versus 150.3 +/- 44.6; SD, 8.1 +/- 4.1 versus 30 +/- 13.8 and elasticity ratio, 1.1 +/- 0.2 versus 2 +/- 0.7, respectively, all p
