ObjectiveTo compare and analyze the ultrasonographic features and pathological diagnosis of breast nodules, explore the value of ultrasound in BI-RADS classification of nodules for improving the qualitative diagnosis of breast nodules.
MethodsThe clinical data of 226 female patients with breast nodules from May 2016 to May 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.The ultrasonographic features and pathological results of breast nodules were compared and analyzed.
ResultsAmong 256 breast nodulesin 226 patients, the results of ultrasound showed that 206 benign nodules were BI-RADS 2-4a, and 50 malignant nodules were BI-RADS 4b-5.The pathological results showed that 199 nodules were benign, and 57 nodules were malignant.The coincidence rates of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast nodules were 96.60% and 87.72%, respectively.The ultrasonographic findings showed that the differences of the morphology, boundary, membrane, internal echo, microcalcification, aspect ratio, hyperechoic halo around the nodules, posterior attenuation, blood flow, RI, axilla and surrounding lymph nodes between benign and malignant breast nodules were statistically significant(P < 0.01).
ConclusionsUltrasound in qualitative and pathological diagnosis of breast nodules has high coincidence has high clinical application value.
