THE ROLE OF STRAIN ELASTOGRAPHY IN REFINING THE DIAGNOSIS OF FOCAL LESIONS IN THE BREAST

Abstract

Currently, the diversity of clinical presentations and the complexity of the differential diagnosis of focal lesions in the breast necessitate the use of modern and highly informative diagnostic methods. Consequently, the identification of breast pathology, both malignant and benign, is extremely relevant. Although numerous diagnostic methods exist to assess the condition of the breast, they do not always provide accurate conclusions, influencing the choice of treatment strategies. Alongside the widespread use of mammography, ultrasound examination is gaining increasing popularity [1]. Modern ultrasound machines, equipped with high-frequency probes, enable the precise diagnosis of various pathological processes in the mammary glands [2]. The ongoing search for technical methods to enhance diagnostic accuracy in breast diseases continues.
