Role of Colour Doppler for Assessment of Malignancy in Solid Breast Masses : A Prospective Study

Introduction: Mammography and ultrasound are the commonly used modalities for radiological evaluation of breast masses and assessment of aggressive features that point towards malignancy. Colour Doppler provides vital information about the vascularity of solid breast masses. Neoangiogenetic vascular architecture of the solid breast lesions can be depicted reliably on colour Doppler, some differentiating features of benign and malignant breast masses on colour Doppler can also provide additional critical information for the assessment of malignancy. Aim: To assess the role of colour Doppler ultrasound in differentiating benign and malignant breast masses and to ascertain the predictive value of colour Doppler in predicting malignancy grade in FNAC proven malignant
