Value of shear wave in early diagnosis of prostatic lesions

Objectives To investigate the the value of shear wave(SWV) for early diagnosis of prostate benign and malignant lesion. Methods 60 patients with prostate lesions were examined by SWV, technology and postoperative pathology was measured and compared for differentiating the benign and malignant tumors. Results SWV technology for detection of prostate malignant lesions and benign lesions were compared between groups, there was significant difference in shear wave velocity (P 2.87 m/s as diagnostic point for benign and malignant prostate lesions , the positive predictive value and specificity for malignancy was 86.7% and 66.7%, respective. Conclusions SWV technology will provide more information and basis for early differential diagnosis of prostate benign and malignant lesions.
