Patient perception of meander-like versus radial breast
ultrasound
Background Radial breast ultrasound scanning (r-US) and commonly used
meander-like ultrasound scanning (m-US) have recently been shown to be equally
sensitive and specific with regard to the detection of breast malignancies. As
patient satisfaction has a strong influence on patient compliance and thus on
the quality of health care, we compare here the two US scanning techniques with
regard to patient comfort during breast ultrasound (BUS) and analyze whether the
patient has a preference for either scanning technique.
Materials and Methods Symptomatic and asymptomatic women underwent both
m-US and r-US scanning by two different examiners. Patient comfort and
preference were assessed using a visual analog scale-based (VAS) questionnaire
and were compared using a Mann-Whitney U test.
Results Analysis of 422 VAS-based questionnaires showed that perceived
comfort with r-US (r-VAS 8 cm, IQR [5.3, 9.1]) was significantly higher compared
to m-US (m-VAS 5.6 cm, IQR [5.2, 7.4]) (p < 0.001). 53.8% of patients had no
preference, 44.3% of patients clearly preferred r-US, whereas only 1.9% of
patients preferred m-US. Conclusion: Patients experience a higher level of
comfort with r-US and favor r-US over m-US. As the diagnostic accuracy of r-US
has been shown to be comparable to that of m-US and the time required for
examination is shorter, a switch from m-US to r-US in routine clinical practice
might be beneficial. R-US offers considerable potential to positively affect
patient compliance but also to save examination time and thus costs.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
