Tissue elastography for the diagnosis of mammary gland disease
The article is professionally consulted by Master, Doctor Nguyen Van Huong - Department of Diagnostic Imaging - Vinmec Danang International General Hospital.
In mammary gland disease, ultrasound of the mammary gland by means of tissue elastography has the effect of supporting the differentiation of benign and malignant tumors, helping to limit unnecessary biopsies.
1. What is Tissue Elastography?
Tissue elastography is an ultrasound technique that helps doctors assess the stiffness of tissue through the degree of elasticity of the tissue when subjected to a mechanical force. Pathological tissues may have the same echogenicity, but will have different stiffness, the more malignant the tissue, the more stiffness will increase. Therefore, when assessing the stiffness of the damaged tissue will provide more information about the nature of that tissue.
The method of ultrasound elastography by applying an external force on the lesion to cause deformation of the lesion as above is called semi-static elastography, also known as deformation-induced elastography. When performing the technique, the sonographer presses the transducer with a certain force to act on the damaged tissue.

2. Tissue elastography to diagnose mammary gland disease
2.1. What is elastography in the diagnosis of breast disease? In mammary gland pathology, ultrasound of the mammary gland by means of tissue elastography has the effect of supporting the differentiation of benign and malignant tumors, helping to limit unnecessary biopsies.
Besides, the rate of women now having breast cancer is increasing, so the method of elastography of breast tissue to diagnose breast disease helps doctors to increase the ability to detect breast cancer on breast tissue. thick.
Method of elastography of tissue to diagnose breast disease has a simple procedure; Fast ultrasound time and high accuracy results, reasonable price for all subjects.

2.2. Steps of tissue elastography to diagnose breast disease Steps to perform elastography to diagnose breast disease include:
● Step 1: The patient lies in the supine position.
● Step 2: The person performing the ultrasound holds the transducer in the dominant hand.
● Step 3: When performing breast ultrasound, the sonographer presses the transducer with a certain force to act on the damaged tissue. Then use 50Hz ultrasound beam into the damaged tissue to identify the damaged tissue.
● Step 4: The technique takes about 5 to 10 minutes. The ultrasound transducer will pick up and color code the waves to help the doctor quantify the stiffness of the tissue.
