Purpose:
Presentation of the suitability of breast ultrasound for detecting DCIS of the breast.
Materials And Methods:
Review of literature on the topic and description of the sonographic features of DCIS illustrated by cases.
Results:
Breast ultrasound is currently capable of detecting DCIS with a comparable success rate to that of mammography. The advantages of sonography become obvious in cases of DCIS without microcalcifications and DCIS in dense or very dense breasts. The assessment of the sonographic architecture of the whole lobe, not just circumscribed lesions, is becoming increasingly important.
Conclusion:
Breast ultrasound represents an important tool for detecting DCIS in addition to mammography.
