RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To explore and validate the clinical value of ultrasound (US) viscosity imaging in differentiating breast lesions by combining with BI-RADS, and then comparing the diagnostic performances with BI-RADS alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This multicenter, prospective study enrolled participants with breast lesions from June 2021 to November 2022. A development cohort (DC) and validation cohort (VC) were established. Using histological results as reference standard, the viscosity-related parameter with the highest area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) was selected as the optimal one...
