Abstract

AIM: The aim of this study is to retrospectively assess the additional diagnostic value of shear wave elastography (SWE) added to ultrasound (US) versus US alone in differentiating malignant and benign non-mass lesions (NMLs) of the breast by readers with different experience levels and to assess interreader agreement.
