[Sonoelastography in the diagnosis of breast tumors smaller than 2 cm].
This is an analysis of the use of sonoelastography as part of complex instrumental diagnostic procedure (mammography, gray-scale and Doppler ultrasonography) for small breast tumors. A total of 126 patients with breast lesions below 20 mm in diameter were divided into two groups depending on lesion size. The first group consisted of women with 5-10 mm lesions (21 patients with carcinoma and 20 patients with benign tumors), the second group was characterized by 11-20 mm lesions (69 carcinoma patients and 16 patients with benign lesions). According to analysis results the diagnostic complex of gray-scale ultrasonography and sonoelastography is most sensitive, the sensitivity is higher in the second group (89.1% and 97.7% respectively). The complex ultrasonography procedure yielded better overall results than mammography in both patients' groups.
