Value of shear-wave elastography in the diagnosis of symptomatic invasive lobular breast cancer.

•Sensitivity of shear-wave elastography (SWE) for detecting lobular cancers is 94%.•Sensitivity of SWE for detecting invasive ductal cancers is 100%.•SWE is more sensitive than mammography for detecting ductal and lobular cancers.•SWE can diagnose ILC as suspicious, which are benign/normal on conventional imaging.
