Infiltrating ductal carcinoma in a female patient. The E_max and E_min values of the breast lesion were 209.00 kPa and 1.45 kPa, respectively. a: SWE quality control with no obvious artifacts; b: The shell included 1 mm peripheral tissue around the breast lesion on the SWE image. The values of E_max-1shell, E_mean-1shell and E_min-1shell were 167.8 kPa, 50.69 kPa and 1.37 kPa; c: The shell included 2 mm peripheral tissue around the breast lesion on the SWE image. The values of E_max-2shell, E_mean-2shell and E_min-2shell were 169.27 kPa, 48.36 kPa, and 1.00 kPa; c: The shell included 3 mm peripheral tissue around the breast lesion on the SWE image. The values of E_max-3shell, E_mean-3shell, and E_min-3shell were 169.27 kPa, 44.49 kPa, and 1.00 kPa
