Ultrasound

Indications of breast ultrasonography [1][2]

  • The first imagery modality in patients with palpable masses under 40 years old
  • Adjuntive modality to mammography for patients older than 40 years
  • Abnormal findings on mammography or MRI
  • Breast implants problems
  • Determination of mass with microcalcification and architectural distortion findings on mammography
  • Screening method for high risk individuals for breast cancer who can not undergo breast MRI
  • Evaluating axillary lymphadenopathy

Breast ultrasound improves breast cancer detection. According to the fact that 11% of palpable breast cancers were detected by ultrasound while these lesions were occult on mammography features. Combination of mammography and ultrasound increase cancer detection rate to 14% [3].
