Usefulness of color Doppler and strain elastography adjunctive to B-mode ultrasonography in the diagnosis of non-mass abnormalities of the breast: results of the BC-07 multicenter study of 385 cases
Although adding color Doppler US and elastography to B-mode US improved sensitivity, the diagnostic significance was limited. Therefore, a comprehensive diagnostic method comprising mammography and magnetic resonance imaging is warranted.
