Virtual touch tissue imaging and quantification (VTIQ) in the evaluation of breast lesions: The associated factors leading to misdiagnosis.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To investigate the factors that could cause a misdiagnosis in virtual touch tissue imaging and quantification (VTIQ) when differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions, and to analyze the imaging characteristics of those lesions with incorrect findings. METHODS:The conventional ultrasound (CUS) features and the VTIQ parameters of 153 benign lesions and 99 malignant lesions were retrospectively analyzed and compared with histopathological and/or core-needle biopsy (CNB)-proven results. Independent variables that led to inaccurate VTIQ results were selected by binary logistic regression analysis. RESULTS:The maximum shear wave speed (SWS-max), the mean SWS (SWS-mean), the minimum SWS (SWS-min), the lesion-to-fat SWS ratio (SWS-L/F), and the lesion-to-gland SWS ratio (SWS-L/G) in malignant lesions were significantly higher than those in benign lesions (all P < 0.001). The false-positive rate (FPR) of benign lesions and the false-negative rate (FNR) of malignant lesions were 9.8% and 19.2%, respectively, using an SWS-max cut-off value of 4.46 m/s. Diameter, depth, and posterior acoustic features were independent variables related to false-positive VTIQ findings (P: 0.049, 0.010 and 0.032, respectively). The invasive status and the histologic grade of infiltrating carcinoma were significantly associated with false-negative VTIQ findings (P: 0.026 and 0.015). CONCLUSION:Diameter, depth, posterior acoustic features, invasive status, and histologic grade have a significant influence on the accuracy of VTIQ results, and these characteristics of breast lesions should be taken into account when interpreting the results of VTIQ examinations.
