“…[ 15 ] Several studies proved that the diagnostic accuracy of CESM is comparable to that of MRI. [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ] In addition, CESM has a shorter examination time, no noise, and a lower cost. It is especially suitable for patients with contraindications of breast MR examination.…”

Diagnostic value of the enhancement intensity and enhancement pattern of CESM to benign and malignant breast lesions

et al. 2020

This study aimed to improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast diseases by combining breast imaging–reporting and data system (BI–RADS) with the enhancement intensity and pattern of contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) (this combination of BI–RADS and CESM was designated as BaC). BI–RADS was used to evaluate low-energy CESM images. Spearman nonparametric correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between the enhancement intensity of CESM subtraction images and the pathological results. Odds ratio (OR) values were calculated to determine whether the enhancement pattern of CESM subtraction images is a risk factor for benign and malignant lesions. The diagnostic efficacies of BI–RADS, CESM, and BaC scores for benign and malignant breast diseases were analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Lesions with a high enhancement intensity were more likely to be malignant than those with low enhancement intensity. Lesions with heterogeneous enhancement tended to be malignant, whereas those with homogeneous enhancement tended to be benign. No significant correlation was observed between ring enhancement and the benignity or malignancy of lesions. The area under the ROC curve of BaC was higher than that of BI–RADS or CESM, and the difference was statistically significant. The diagnostic efficacy of BI–RADS combined with CESM enhancement was superior to that of either method alone.

“…[ 6 ] Helal et al reported that CESM had higher sensitivity, specificity and accuracy than DM+2-dimensional ultrasound (2DUS). [ 7 ] Several studies proved that CESM has the same diagnostic accuracy as breast MRI, and its specificity is even better than that of MRI. [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]…”

“…So, three-dimensional US technology was developed for three-dimensional imaging of tumour morphology and blood vessel distribution, which are shown when patients are diagnosed. 30 The colour Doppler US is one of many three-dimensional US and can clearly reflect the situation of tumour and blood flow information and provide doctors with more valuable clinical information, so that it can distinguish benign and malignant tumours. 31 In 1998, Krouskop 32 found that there are elastic differences in different tissues, which provides theoretical foundation for developing elastic US.…”

“…Surely, the two‐dimensional US only gets some flat images of tumour, and judgement by physicians will be affected. So, three‐dimensional US technology was developed for three‐dimensional imaging of tumour morphology and blood vessel distribution, which are shown when patients are diagnosed 30 . The colour Doppler US is one of many three‐dimensional US and can clearly reflect the situation of tumour and blood flow information and provide doctors with more valuable clinical information, so that it can distinguish benign and malignant tumours 31 .…”

A review on methods for diagnosis of breast cancer cells and tissues

Breast cancer has seriously been threatening physical and mental health of women in the world, and its morbidity and mortality also show clearly upward trend in China over time. Through inquiry, we find that survival rate of patients with early‐stage breast cancer is significantly higher than those with middle‐ and late‐stage breast cancer, hence, it is essential to conduct research to quickly diagnose breast cancer. Until now, many methods for diagnosing breast cancer have been developed, mainly based on imaging and molecular biotechnology examination. These methods have great contributions in screening and confirmation of breast cancer. In this review article, we introduce and elaborate the advances of these methods, and then conclude some gold standard diagnostic methods for certain breast cancer patients. We lastly discuss how to choose the most suitable diagnostic methods for breast cancer patients. In general, this article not only summarizes application and development of these diagnostic methods, but also provides the guidance for researchers who work on diagnosis of breast cancer.

With millions of people all over the world being affected by it, breast cancer remains a big and ubiquitous health problem that continues to be a concern. With regard to the early identification and treatment of breast cancer, this review paper places a strong emphasis on the central role that diagnostic equipment play. Molecular testing and magnetic resonance imaging are two examples of new technologies that have been used to improve mammography, a crucial screening method for breast cancer. These technologies offer increased sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of breast cancers, making mammography an important screening approach. Nevertheless, the provision of screening programs to a diverse variety of persons continues to be a challenge, particularly in locations that have limited materials and resources.
