Ultrasound real-time elastography can predict malignancy in BI-RADSW-US 3 lesions

Lesions of the breast that are classified BI-RADSW-US 3 by ultrasound are probably benign and observation is recommended, although malignancy may occasionally occur. In our study, we focus exclusively on BI-RADSW-US 3 lesions and hypothesize that sonoelastography as an adjunct to conventional ultrasound can identify a high-risk-group and a low-risk-group within these patients.
