Purpose: To establish the correlations between ultrasound (US) BI-RADS classification and Ueno-Itoh elastography score when assessing breast lesions. To determine which type of breast lesion (BI-RADS category) would benefit most from an elastographic assessment. Methodology: Our analysis was performed on 125 ultrasound detected breast lesions, in 80 patients examined with a Hitachi 8500 US device in our Breast Unit between May 2007 and February 2008. Each lesion was assessed according to BI-RADS and Ueno-Itoh elastography score. Histopathology was obtained by means of percutaneous biopsy or post-surgery. Fibroad…
