Figure 6: Solid breast lesions with four T-SWE color patterns on elasticity mode.

From: Qualitative and quantitative analysis with a novel shear wave speed imaging for differential diagnosis of breast lesions

Figure 6

(a) Pattern 1, the lesion is shown homogeneously light blue, classified as ‘negative results’. The diagnosis after surgical excision is fibroadenomatous hyperplasia. (b) Pattern 2, the lesion is shown heterogeneously, predominantly blue with spot green, classified as ‘negative results’. The diagnosis after surgical excision is adenosis. (c) Pattern 3, the lesion is shown heterogeneously, with patchy green, yellow and red, classified as ‘positive results’. The diagnosis after surgical excision is intraductal carcinoma. (d) Pattern 4, the lesion is shown extremely heterogeneously, multicolored with red, orange, green, blue and irregular areas without colors, which can be named ‘multicolored sign’, classified as ‘positive results’. The diagnosis after surgical excision is invasive ductal carcinoma.
