Study summary

Objective: To explore the potential association between the multimodal ultrasound characteristics and pathological classification of BI-RADS category 4 breast lesions, so as to clarify the diagnostic characteristics of multimodal ultrasound in different pathological types BI-RADS category 4 breast lesions.

Materials and methods: Patients who visited in The First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University & Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital were collected. Their general clinical features, information on preoperative ultrasound diagnosis, and postoperative pathologic data were reviewed.

Study population

Patients who visited in The First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University & Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital were collected.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Perform ultrasound examination at our hospital before surgery or puncture ; Complete histopathological data; Two ultrasound physicians with more than 5 years of experience in breast ultrasound diagnosis were diagnosed as BI-RADS Class 4 based on preoperative ultrasound images.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Poor image quality; Incomplete clinical data.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. elasticity imaging/B-mode ratio

    The ratio of lesion length on strain elastography images to lesion length on grayscale images

    Time frame: Immediately record the elastic modulus value after the patient receives routine ultrasound and shear wave elastography

  2. shear wave velocity

    Shear wave velocity values at the hardest point of the lesion and surrounding tissues

    Time frame: Immediately record the elastic modulus value after the patient receives routine ultrasound and shear wave elastography

  3. strain ratio

    The ratio of average strain between surrounding tissues at the same depth and the lesion

    Time frame: Immediately record the elastic modulus value after the patient receives routine ultrasound and shear wave elastography

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 6, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
