Ultrasound is the most popular and important modality in clinical practice of breast cancer not only for screening and diagnosis, but also for indication of surgery and evaluation for medical treatment.
Elastography is a very popular tool in breast physicians and radiologists in Asia and Europa. Recently some clinical studies of elastography (called evidence) were reported in Asia and European counties.
In this symposium we confirmed the utilities of elastography for breast treatment. And we will make a consensus about breast elastography.
Call the abstract about breast and thyroid elastography.
