While conventional B-mode ultrasound is a fundamental tool for evaluating breast lesions, its limitations in definitively differentiating benign from malignant masses often lead to unnecessary biopsies. Sonographic elastography, an advanced ultrasound technique, assesses tissue stiffness, a key indicator of malignancy. This article provides a comprehensive review of the diagnostic efficacy of various sonographic elastography parameters, including qualitative scoring systems and quantitative strain ratios, in characterizing breast lesions. We explore how these parameters, particularly when combined with conventional B-mode and Doppler ultrasonography, enhance diagnostic accuracy, reduce the need for invasive procedures, and improve clinical decision-making. The discussion highlights the transformative role of elastography in modern breast imaging, contributing to more precise and patient-friendly diagnostic pathways.</p> Dr. Putri Wulandari Dr. Rizky Aditya Nugroho Dr. Siti Nurhaliza Hasan Copyright (c) 2025 Dr. Putri Wulandari, Dr. Rizky Aditya Nugroho, Dr. Siti Nurhaliza Hasan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-07-01 2025-07-01 7 07 1 7
