dc.description.abstract | From 95 subjects imaged with both speed of sound and attenuation ultrasonic computed tomography (UCT), quantitative analyses are presented on 40 cases where unequivocal correlating clinical diagnoses are available. Using four attenuation and speed of sound parameters from different regions of interest in the breast, a linear discriminator detects cancer with approximately 90% sensitivity and specificity. Increased confidence in the predictive power of this small study is given by a modern test of predictive power (jackknifing) and by the fact that diagnostic discrimination remains as high as 85% when only two parameters are employed--attenuation and speed of sound in the lesion minus those values in the remaining central mammary tissues. Speed of sound images appear particularly useful in older, fatty breasts where pulse echo ultrasound is particularly lacking. While UCT in the form studied here is not likely to receive wide clinical acceptance in the near future, a combined UCT/pulse echo system might find wide clinical utility if it can be sufficiently convenient and inexpensive. | en_US |
