This study validated the application of transthoracic shear-wave ultrasound elastography for assessing lung malignancy. A cut-off point of 65 kPa is suggested for predicting lung malignancy. Furthermore, for pulmonary air bronchogram lesions with high elasticity, tissue proofing should be considered because of the high possibility of malignancy.
