Evaluation of the Value of Full-Automatic Breast Volume Ultrasound in Assessing Benign and Malignant Breast Lesions
Objective:To investigate the value of full-automatic breast volume ultrasound(ABVS)in evaluating benign and malignant breast lesions.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clini-cal data of 95 patients who were diagnosed with breast lumps in our hospital from September 2020 to September 2023.The patients underwent both conventional ultrasound examination and ABVS after admission.Pathologi-cal examination was used as the gold standard,and the diagnostic performance of conventional ultrasound and ABVS was analyzed.Results:A total of 124 lesions were found in the 95 patients.Among these,there were 38 malignant lesions and 86 benign lesions.The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predic-tive value,and negative predictive value of conventional ultrasound were 73.68%,77.91%,76.61%,59.57%,and 87.01%,respectively.The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of ABVS were 84.21%,88.37%,87.10%,76.19%,and 92.68%,respec-tively.The combined diagnostic sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value,and negative pre-dictive value of conventional ultrasound and ABVS were 71.05%,95.34%,87.90%,87.09%,and 88.17%,respectively.Conclusion:Compared with conventional ultrasound,ABVS has a greater advantage in the diagnosis of breast diseases.The combined diagnosis of the two can significantly improve the diagnostic accu-racy of benign and malignant breast lesions.
