Ultrasound Elastography of Breast Lesions - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	SuperSonic Imagine
Information provided by:	SuperSonic Imagine
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00716482

Purpose

Our hypothesis is that the addition of shear wave Elastography to a conventional breast ultrasound examination provides useful information for the radiologist when imaging lesions in the breast, as compared to conventional grayscale ultrasound alone.
