The diagnostic value of two-dimensional ultrasound score, contrast-enhanced ultrasound score and ultrasound elastography score in prostate cancer. [PDF]
Transl Androl UrolProstate cancer (PCa) is a prevalent malignancy in men, with early diagnosis being crucial for treatment and prognosis. This study evaluates the diagnostic efficacy of two-dimensional ultrasound imaging score (2DUS), contrast-enhanced ultrasound score (CEUS), and ultrasound elastography score (UES) in PCa.The PCa group consisted of patients diagnosed ...

Contrast Media Mol Imaging, 2022 Invasive breast cancer (IBC) is a kind of malignant tumor in which cancer cells have broken through the basement membrane of breast ducts or lobular acini and invaded the stroma. Although ultrasound elastography score (UES) has shown unique advantages in the diagnosis of IBC, its value in the prognosis is not clear.

Role of elastography strain ratio and TIRADS score in predicting malignant thyroid nodule [PDF]
Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2020 Ultrasonography (US) is the most accurate and cost-effective imaging method in diagnosis of thyroid nodules. A practical thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TIRADS) for thyroid nodules has been proposed to classify nodules of the thyroid gland to solve the problem of nodule selection for fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).
