Abstract

|
|
Sonography has a significant role in diagnostic breast imaging. It is most commonly used as an adjunctive test in characterization of lesions detected using other imaging modalities or by physical examination. Sonography is recognized as the modality of choice in evaluation of women who are symptomatic and younger than 30 years of age, pregnant, or lactating. Combined mammography and breast sonography appear to have a role in screening high-risk populations. The standard terminology and description, such as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System for Ultrasound (BI-RADs-US) lexicon is helpful in differential diagnosis between benign and malignancy. Biopsy is indicated for any feature consistent with malignancy. Breast sonography is the modality of choice for interventional procedures. The role of breast sonography is being further investigated.
