US is usually an adjunct to mammography and the clinical examination but in the young patient presenting with symptoms sonography may be the initial or sole imaging procedure. A screening role has not been established, but there may be a subset of high-risk patients for whom US will prove useful as a screening adjunct. Proper selection of equipment, careful attention to the technical aspects of scanning, and awareness of artifacts are necessary to avoid misinterpretation and to demonstrate subtle changes in breast architecture which indicate a malignancy. Thorough knowledge of the range of normal appearances of the breast and the alterations produced by breast disease are essential requisites for accurate evaluation and lesion characterization. Two of the most important clinical advances in breast US have been the development of criteria that allow improved benign/malignant differentiation of solid breast lesions and the use of US to guide interventional procedures. Other developments such as Doppler and contrast agents remain investigational. by the Société Internationale de Chirurgie, 2000 World Journal of Surgery Springer-Verlag 24/2(2000-02-01), 143-157 0364-2313 24:2<143 2000 24 268 https://doi.org/10.1007/s002689910027 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s002689910027 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Kossoff Marjorie Britt Pittwater Radiology, Mona Vale X-ray and CT, 1785 Pittwater Road, Mona Vale, New South Wales 2071, Australia, AU aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- World Journal of Surgery Springer-Verlag 24/2(2000-02-01), 143-157 0364-2313 24:2<143 2000 24 268 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
