Quantitative Assessment of Breast-Tumor Stiffness Using Shear-Wave Elastography Histograms

Quantitative Assessment of Breast-Tumor Stiffness Using Shear-Wave Elastography Histograms

<b>Purpose:</b> Shear-wave elastography (SWE) measures tissue elasticity using ultrasound waves. This study proposes a histogram-based SWE analysis to improve breast malignancy detection. <b>Methods:</b> N = 22/32 (patients/tumors) benign and n = 51/64 malignant breast tumors...
