Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of the diagnostic value of elastography using real-time shear wave elastography and compression elastography simultaneously versus MR mammography in the detection and characterization of intramammary lesions. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Does direct comparison between real-time shear wave elastography and compression elastography improve diagnostic performance compared with MRI? - Can elastography or MR mammography provide clues to the histopathology of benign and malignant lesions? - What additional time is involved in using both elastography modes, in addition to B-mode ultrasonography? - Are there differences in diagnostic accuracy of elastography depending on tumor histology? | — |
