Diagnostic performances of shear-wave elastography and B-mode ultrasound to differentiate benign and malignant breast lesions: the emphasis on the cutoff value of qualitative and quantitative parameters

Quantitative and qualitative SWE combined with B-mode US improved the accuracy to differentiate benign from malignant lesions. Emax (cutoff, 145.7 kPa) appeared to be the most discriminatory parameter.
