摘要

Background: Many methods can quantitatively assess limb lymphedema, but methods to assess breast edema/lymphedema are quite limited. Thus, there is a need for a convenient and accurate way to quantify and track changes in this condition. Herein, breast tissue dielectric constant (TDC) values that depend on tissue water were used to obtain reference TDC values and interbreast TDC ratios. Methods and Results: TDC was measured in both breasts of 61 women who were about to undergo an ultrasound-guided diagnostic biopsy of a single mass (tumor) in 1 breast. Patient age and body mass index were (mean ± SD) 65.1 ± 11.6 (41–87 years) and 28.9 ± 5.1 (19.1–43.7 kg/m2). TDC was measured at a standardized site (12 o'clock position) with the TDC probe placed with its outer edge at the periphery of the subareolar region. TDC values of healthy breasts versus tumor breasts showed tumor breasts 3% greater (30.4 ± 4.6 vs. 29.5 ± 4.6, p = 0.02). Patients with benign tumors (N = 33) showed no difference between breasts (30.5 ± 4.4 vs. 30.8 ± 4.6 p = 0.434) and had an interbreast TDC ratio (tumor breast/healthy breast) of 1.013 ± 0.077. Patients with malignant tumors (N = 28) had tumor breast values 5% greater (29.8 ± 4.8 vs. 28.4 ± 4.6, p = 0.018) and an interbreast ratio of 1.056 ± 0.117. The overall interbreast ratio (N = 61) was 1.033 ± 0.099. Conclusion: Breast TDC values from nonedematous breasts provide the basis for calculating potential edematous/lymphedematous threshold values based on the measured means +2.5 standard deviation (SD). Accordingly, a TDC threshold value of 41 and an interbreast ratio of 1.28 were determined. These parameters have potential applicability for early detection in at-risk patients and those suspected of having breast edema/lymphedema.
