Malignant breast lesions have higher shear wave elasticity than benign lesions, and the occurrence of breast lesions is accompanied by changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) components which are related to invasion and metastasis of breast lesions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between shear wave elasticity and ECM components in breast lesions.
