The techniques will be compared using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) method (i.e., baseline ultrasound imaging, SHI, or MRI) as the dependent variable and outcome as the independent variables. Diagnostic accuracy of lesion identification as "no lesion seen", "definitely benign", "indeterminate" or "definitely malignant" based on independent reads by experience radiologists for SHI with and without contrast vs contrast-enhanced MRI (quantitative analysis). For qualitative analysis, digital images from the SHI imaging were reviewed by the independent radiologists for interpretation. Diagnostic accuracy reported as percentage of lesions correctly identified through SHI as compared to ultrasound or MRI as the gold standard.
The ability of SHI to accurately characterize lesions as benign from malignant masses as compared to other imaging (ultrasound or MRI) and pathology will be analyzed using logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses.
