“…To improve the sensitivity of CE-US, the peak and flow thresholds could be further lowered, considering also that in our study we did not take into account the obviously benign lesions of the baseline ultrasound examination and that therefore the threshold values used are probably higher than those that could be used by studying a sample including a lesion range from BI-RADS category 2-5. Not all studies reported in the literature allow the definition of thresholds for distinguishing benign lesions from malignancies [20,30,33,34]. Although in our study it was possible to identify threshold values for certain parameters, it should be remembered that the study population was chosen on the basis of a suspect or typically malignant morphological appearance on the baseline ultrasound examination.…”
