Abstract

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of high frequency ultrasound and 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in breast cancer. Methods The imaging data of 50 cases of patients with breast cancer confirmed by operation and pathology during January 2013 to April 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The high frequency ultrasound and MRI imaging findings were observed and were compared with surgical and pathological results. The accuracies of high frequency ultrasound, MRI alone and combined diagnosis were analyzed. Results With the surgical and pathological results as the gold standard, the dianostic accuracy of high frequency ultrasound in breast cancer was 84.0% while of MRI was 92.0% and of the combination of the two was 98.0%. The dianostic accuracy of high frequency ultrasound combined with MRI was significantly higher than that of high frequency ultrasound and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The accuracy of 1.5T MRI in the diagnosis of breast cancer is higher than that of high frequency ultrasound. High frequency ultrasound combined with MRI can significantly improve the dianostic accuracy in breast cancer. In clinic, it is worthy of promotion.
