A novel qualitative pattern of shear wave elastography for differentiating suspicious metastatic axillary lymph nodes on B-mode ultrasound: a multi-center retrospective study
The novel qualitative SWE patterns could achieve reliable diagnostic discrimination for benign and metastatic BMUS-suspicious ALNs. They may thus be able to optimize surgical planning and reduce overtreatment, improving the quality of life of patients treated with breast cancer.
