With the increase in the incidence of breast diseases such as breast hyperplasia and breast cancer, people pay more and more attention to breast health, and more and more female friends go to the hospital for breast examination. When they get their inspection reports, they are often confused by the various technical terms written on them. Today I will teach you how to read the report sheet~
1. Ultrasound pictures
At the top of the color ultrasound report, several pictures are generally arranged, and each female friend has different pictures according to the complexity of the disease. Ultrasound doctors generally select 2 to 4 more typical images to print in the report. There will generally be information such as lesions and positional identification on the image. You can roughly understand the general condition of the lump, such as location, size, level, etc.
Second, what is seen by ultrasound
Below the picture, there is an ultrasound description of the most textual content. It describes the thickness of the glandular layer of the breast, the structure of the tissue, the echoes, whether the ducts of the breast are dilated, and so on.
(1) Size: Single lumps or lumps smaller than 3, ultrasound doctors will generally describe their size one by one. If it is a multiple lump of the same nature, generally write only the larger ones, or write about lumps larger than 10 mm.
(2) Position: The first is to mark the mass in the left breast or the right breast. This is followed by writing the specific location of the breast where the mass is located, and some hospitals write quadrants (through the two vertical lines of the nipple, the mammary gland is divided into four quadrants: outer upper, outer lower, inner lower, and inner upper). Some hospitals write the hour, which is equivalent to drawing a clock on the breast, the corresponding time is the time of the clock, and then mark the distance between this point and the nipple how many millimeters.
(3) Description of the lump:
1. Echo: There are three main types, namely strong echo, low echo and no echo. Strong echoes are generally hard in texture and generally represent calcification; low echoes represent solid nodules, and no echoes represent "liquid" nodules.
2. Morphology and boundary: In general, the benign nodule boundary is clear, the morphology is regular, round or elliptical. Malignant nodules are generally ill-defined or blurred, irregular in morphology, and crab-foot-like.
3. Blood flow: Breast ultrasound is usually color ultrasound, not imaging is color, but the blood supply to the nodule can be seen in the imaging. In general, there is no obvious blood flow in benign nodules or dotted strips of blood flow, and blood flow in malignant nodules is relatively abundant.
4. Aspect ratio: It means that the lump is long horizontally or vertically long, if it is long horizontally, then the aspect ratio is greater than 1, and if it is vertically long, then the aspect ratio may be less than 1. In general, an aspect ratio greater than 1 is a suspicious sign of malignancy.
Third, ultrasound prompts
BI-RADS, which is currently a common clinically common breast imaging reporting and data system for diagnosing breast diseases. An assessment classification that is widely used to evaluate the degree and risk of benign and malignant breast lesions.
The BI-RADS classification classifies breast lesions into grades 0 to 6. In general, the higher the level, the greater the likelihood of malignancy.
Of course, there is no need to worry too much about finding breast nodules, and timely treatment can be done!
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that breast nodules belong to the category of "mammary fetishism", which is closely related to organs such as liver, spleen and kidneys, and its pathogenesis is mainly caused by hepatic depression and spleen deficiency, liver and kidney deficiency, chong ren disorder, and sputum stasis coagulation in the breast. Therefore, clinical treatment should be based on liver thinning, blood activation and stasis as the main treatment methods. Here we recommend shunqi loose soup to everyone.
