Nomogram based on multimodal ultrasound features for evaluating breast nonmass lesions: a single center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is challenging to correctly identify and diagnose breast nonmass lesions. This study aimed to explore the multimodal ultrasound features associated with malignant breast nonmass lesions (NMLs), and evaluate their combined diagnostic performance.

Methods

This retrospective analysis was conducted on 573 breast NMLs, including 309 were benign and 264 were malignant, their multimodal ultrasound features (B-mode, color Doppler and strain elastography) were assessed by two experienced radiologists. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysises were used to explore multimodal ultrasound features associated with malignancy, and a nomogram was developed. Diagnostic performance and clinical utility were evaluated and validated by the receiver operating chara
