Contrast enhanced ultrasound of breast cancer
Abstract
The importance of ultrasound examination in the diagnosis of
breast cancer has been widely demonstrated. During the last few
years, the introduction of ultrasound contrast media has been considered a promising tool for studying the vascular pattern of focal lesions within the breast. Our purpose was to assess whether contrast-enhanced (CE) ultrasound examination, performed
using specific contrast imaging modes, can be helpful for detection and characterization of breast lesions, and for prediction of the response of breast cancer to therapy.
