Editorial Comment on: K. Dobruch-Sobczak The differentiation of the character of solid lesions in the breast in the compression sonoelastography. Part I and II

Abstract

In its volumes 12 no. 51 and 13 no. 52, “Journal of Ultrasonography” contains two important articles regarding the part played by elastography in the diagnostic imaging of the breast and a statistical comparative study of earlier publications(1,2). However, this remarkable piece of work calls for a few remarks since it concerns an organ about which still little is known – the breast, and a technique which is recent and still innovating – elastography. Far from being critical, these remarks are meant to be constructive in order to contribute to the improvement of diagnostic performances.
