Abstract

Abstract: This paper discusses the effect of shear wave elastography quantitative parameters on the diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer.Sixty cases of breast cancer patients were taken as the observation group, and 60 cases of benign breast nodules were taken as the control group. The maximum elastic modulus (Emax) were collected for ultrasonic examination using shear wave elastography.T test was used to analyze the difference of Emax between the two groups, and ROC curve was used to analyze the value of Emax in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The results showed that compared with the control group, AE max, Shell1emax, shell2emax and Shell3emax in the observation group were increased. AE max, Shell1emax, Shell2emax and Shell3emax had certain value in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The area under the curve was 0.723, 0.893, 0.818 and 0.791, respectively. AE max, Shell1emax, Shell2emax and Shell3emax had certain value in the diagnosis of postoperative recurrence of breast cancer. The area under the curve was 0.754, 0.884, 0.824 and 0.782, respectively. It is concluded that the quantitative analysis of shear wave elastography has certain value in the diagnosis of breast cancer and prediction of prognosis.
