Diagnostic Performance and Additional Value of Elastosonography in Focal Breast Lesions: Statistical Correlation between Size-Dependant Strain Index Measurements, Multimodality-BI-RADS Score, and Histopathology in a Clinical Routine Setting

<table>An example of fibrocystic changes in a 35-year-old female. The B-mode ultrasound image on the right indicates a hypoechoic nodular lesion. On the color-coded elastography, the lesion appears to be less strained than the surrounding tissues. The region of interest (ROI A) is positioned in normal parenchyma, and the second ROI B is positioned within the lesion. The strain index is 0.32; therefore, the lesion is most likely benign.</table>
