Abstract:ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the value of percutaneous contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (PCEUS) in the identification and characterization of sentinel lymph node (SLN).MethodsA total of 102 breast cancer patients were collected and underwent preoperative PCEUS, which was used to identify SLN and lymphatic drainage. SLNs were classified into 4 enhancement patterns, including 6 subtypes: homogeneous (I), featured inhomogeneous (II) including inhomogeneous hypoenhancement (IIa) and annular or semi‐a… Show more
