Sumario:Shear wave dispersion (SWD) imaging is a newly developed ultrasound technology designed to evaluate the dispersion slope of shear waves, which is related to tissue viscosity. This advanced imaging technique holds potential for distinguishing malignant lesions from benign lesions and normal breast tissue. The SWD slope, as determined by shear wave elastography (SWE), could offer crucial insights into the characterization of breast lesions. This article presents SWE and SWD images of both malignant and benign breast lesions, in addition to normal breast tissue.
