ABSTRACT

Objective: We set out to evaluate the precision of mammography and ultrasonography results in order to correlate the histological diagnosis of breast lesions.

Study Design: Descriptive / analytical study

Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Radiology Department of KTH Hospital, Peshawar  from May 2014 to May 2015.

Materials and Methods: 200 patients with breast lesions were used as the sample size of this study. Evaluate the relationship between imaging findings and histopathological diagnosis at the end of the examination.

Results: Mammography has an accuracy of 83.8%, a specificity of 80%, and a sensitivity of 91.2% in identifying cancer. Ultrasonography, in contrast, had sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 80.01%, 90.05%, and 86.2%, respectively. The two tests' combined accuracy was 92%.

Conclusion: Breast lesions are diagnosed with great accuracy using mammographic and ultrasonographic imaging modalities that substantially correlate with related histology diagnosis. Diagnostic precision may be considerably increased by combining the two imaging techniques.

Key Words: Mammography, Sonography, breast lesions, histopathology, accuracy
