  1. Variables are expressed as percentages with numbers of lesions in parentheses; Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 4A, 4B, 4C, and 5 were defined as positive for calculation of diagnostic performance
  2. US, ultrasound; CEUS, contrasted-enhanced ultrasound; NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value
