B-mode (a–c) and strain ratio (d–f) images of a carcinoma of unknown type in the coronal (a, d), sagittal (b, e) and transverse (c, f) planes. In the strain images (d–f), the maximal principal strain ratios are superimposed on the B-mode images of the top row. The purple arrows indicate the lesion.
