Benign-Malign Differentiation Of Axillary Lymph Nodes: The Role Of Superb Microvascular Imaging
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ultrasound and biyopsy for Diagnosis and Axilla; Breast. Completed, enrolled 102 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
102 patients who have suspicious ALNs were included in our prospective study, which was approved by a tertiary health care facility ethics committee. Each suspicious lymph nodes (LNs) were examined with PDUS and SMI in terms of distribution, appearance and number of vascular structures and the still images were stored. Subsequently, imaging findings were re-evaluated after histopathological or follow-up results and were compared between benign and malign groups. In addition, we revealed the diagnostic perfomance of using the each possible combination of these features in PDUS and SMI. Finally, two radiologists with 22 years and 4 years of experience analyzed the images and interobserver agreement was assessed
