The size, shape, margin, internal echo, microcalcification, lateral acoustic shadow, and posterior acoustic enhancement of benign and malignant masses were significantly different (all <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The E mean, E max, SD, and E ratio of benign and malignant masses were significantly different (all <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The E min was similar between benign and malignant masses (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). The percentage of Adler grade II-III of the benign masses was lower than that of the malignant masses (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). BI-RADS plus SWE yielded higher diagnostic specificity and positive predictive value than either BI-RADS or SWE; BI-RADS plus SWE yielded the highest diagnostic accuracy among the three methods (all <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>SWE plus routine ultrasonography BI-RADS has a higher value in differentiating benign from malignant breast masses than color doppler or SWE alone, which should be further promoted in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12880-021-00702-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]],"date-time":"2021-12-01T20:02:37Z","timestamp":1638388957000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Combination of shear wave elastography and BI-RADS in identification of solid breast masses"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Xue","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhi-Dong","family":"Xuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"702_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"S59","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ultrasmedbio.2019.07.608","volume":"45","author":"T Watanabe","year":"2019","unstructured":"Watanabe T, Kaoku S, Ban K, et al.
