All patients underwent LCEUS followed by ICEUS, and the enhancement pattern of one SLN was analysed for each patient. The targeted SLN was marked with wire and excised during surgery. The imaging diagnosis was compared with the histopathological result. Diagnostic efficiency was compared among LCEUS, ICEUS, and the combination of LCEUS and ICEUS.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The sensitivity values for LCEUS, ICEUS, and the combination of LCEUS and ICEUS were 86.2%, 82.6% and 93.1%, respectively.

The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for LCEUS was 0.906, and there was no significant difference among LCEUS, ICEUS, and the combination of LCEUS and ICEUS (p = 0.752).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>LCEUS may represent an accurate method for predicting SLN metastasis preoperatively.
