PDFAbstract
Objective To explore and compare the clinical values of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of breast masses. Methods The ultrasound and MRI data of 78 cases of breast mass patients (78 breast masses) treated in the East of Suzhou Municipal Hospital and Suzhou Science & Technology Town Hospital (the West of Suzhou Municipal Hospital) were retrospectively analyzed, and the data were compared with pathological examination results respectively, and the clinical values of two diagnostic methods were explored. Results There were 36 cases of benign masses and 42 cases of malignant masses confirmed by pathological examination of the 78 breast masses. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value and correct rate were not significantly different from those by MRI diagnosis (P>0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound and MRI have high correct rate in the diagnosis of benign or malignant breast masses, and the two have their own advantages and disadvantages and have certain clinical application values.
