Shearwave Elastography Increases Diagnostic Accuracy in Characterization of Breast Lesions
The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of shearwave elastography (SWE) in differentiating between benign and malignant breast lesions.One hundred and fifty-nine lesions were assessed using B-mode ultrasound (US) and SWE parameters were recorded (Emax, Emean, Emin, Eratio, SD). SWE measurements were then correlated with histopathological diagnosis.The final sample c...
متن کاملU.S. Economic Performance: Good Fortune, Bubble, or New Era?
T he performance of the U.S. economy in the late 1990s was very good by most measures. Overall growth was robust; and both the unemployment rate and inflation were at the lowest levels in over 30 years. But for many economists, delight in the economy's strong performance was tempered by puzzlement, even consternation. Since the 1960s, unemployment rates below 6 percent or so had been associated...
متن کاملBreast Elastography: Present and Future
Gradually, ultrasound equipment have suffered a major technological development, starting with the Doppler log or the introduction of harmonics, until the recent use of intravenous contrast and of course elastography. The first team was launched in 2003, later emerging numerous similar systems have been launched different commercial houses, which have been incorporated to ultrasound equipment p...
متن کاملAnalytic modeling of breast elastography.
The elastic moduli of tumors change during their pathological evolution. Elastographic imaging has potential for detecting and characterizing cancers by mapping the stiffness distribution in tissues. In this paper a micromechanics-based analytical method was developed to detect the location, size, and elastic modulus of a tumor mass embedded in a symmetric two-dimensional breast tissue. A close...
متن کاملBitcoin: Bubble or Blockchain
This paper sets out a brief, deliberately non-technical, overview of Bitcoin, a new, but becoming more mainstream, crypto currency, generated and managed by a distributed multi–agent system. Bitcoin was developed in late 2008 by “Satoshi Nakamoto”. The nature of Bitcoin as a disruptive currency, payments system and asset, is juxtaposed against the potential for its transactional ledger, the blo...
