Abstract
Background
Second-look US emerged as a feasible tool to evaluate MRI-detected lesions, although data regarding the accuracy and optimal lesion selection for second-look US is limited. Therefore, we evaluated the second-look US detection rate of breast lesions detected initially on MRI by using MRI features and compared second-look US findings across benign and malignant lesions.
Material and Methods
A total of 110 MRI-detected lesions subsequently evaluated with the second-look US were retrospectively reviewed. The performance of MRI features in the prediction of second-look US detection was evaluated with ROC analyses.
Results
The positive and negative predictive values of second-look US for malignancy detection were 28.8% and 96.1%, respectively. In multivariate analyses, the MRI BI-RADS category (OR: 11.896, p < 0.001) and lesion type (OR: 9.470, p = 0.001) were significantly associated with second-look US detection. Combined scoring with these factors could predict second-look US detection [AUC: 0.712, 95% CI: 0.617–0.807 p < 0.001]. Furthermore, lesions with irregular shapes and margins were more often malignant in the analysis of US findings (p < 0.001).
Conclusions
The MRI BI-RADS category and lesion type could predict detection in the second-look US for MRI-detected lesions. Besides, second-look US could give additional information to distinguish between benign and malignant masses.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
