Color Doppler Evaluation of Palpable Breast Lump along with Cytological/ Histopathological Correlation
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
The complexity of breast structure, greater breast volume and the extreme sensitivity to endocrine influences are factors that predispose this organ to a number of pathological conditions. Imaging plays an important role in characterization of palpable breast lump. High Resolution Ultrasound acts as an adjunct to physical and mammographic examination to differentiate benign from malignant so as to avoid unnecessary biopsy and surgical excision. Color Doppler imaging helps to identify presence of vascularity in breast lesions and help in characterizing the lesion. Objectives- 1.To evaluate different palpable breast lumps on the basis of their color Doppler characteristic, 2.To corroborate the color Doppler diagnosis with histopathological and/or cytological correlation. Material And Methods-Subjects were the patients from indoor ward and out-patient department of Surgery and Gynecology Department. After obtaining consent from the appropriately selected patients, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, they were examined using HX color Doppler machine of Hewlett Packard (HP). Different pre-determined gray scale and color Doppler parameters were recorded and analyzed according to appropriate statistical methods. Conclusion-Use of color Doppler showed promising results in differentiating the nature of solid breast lumps thereby reducing unnecessary biopsies, allay anxiety and control cost. Flow velocimetry criteria especially RI is most important in characterizing breast masses. Keywords:Breast; benign; malignant; Color Doppler; Resistive Index
