Comparison of 3D and 2D shear-wave elastography for differentiating benign and malignant breast masses: focus on the diagnostic performance

Among SWE images, 2D SWE, and 3D SWE axial and sagittal images exhibited superior diagnostic performance compared to 3D coronal images. Addition of 3D SWE images to B-mode US improved the diagnostic performance for distinguishing benign from malignant masses.
