Evaluation of solid breast lesions with power Doppler: value of penetrating vessels as a predictor of malignancy.
This study aimed to evaluate the vascular pattern of solid breast lesions using power Doppler ultrasonography (PDUS) and assess whether the presence of intratumoural penetrating vessels can predict breast cancer malignancy. ⋯ Flow patterns revealed by PDUS can be useful for differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions. The visualisation of penetrating vessels in solid breast lesions can be used to complement greyscale US findings in predicting malignancy.
