Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The application of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) technology "S-Detect" enables qualitative and quantitative automated analysis of ultrasound images to obtain objective, repeatable and more accurate diagnostic results. The Elastic Contrast Index (ECI) technique, unlike conventional strain-elastic imaging techniques, can evaluate the elastic distribution in the region of interest. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the differential diagnosis value of ultrasound S-Detect technology for benign and malignant breast nodules and evaluate the differential diagnosis consistency of the ultrasound S-Detect technique and the examiner for benign and malignant breast nodules and explore the differential diagnosis value of Samsung ultrasound elastic contrast Index (ECI) technique for benign and malignant breast nodules.
