    Summary

    Ultrasound (US) excels in diagnosing benign breast conditions, while mammography is superior for malignancies. Combining both imaging techniques offers complementary diagnostic value, especially for women aged 30-50.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Mammary pathologic conditions require accurate diagnostic methods.
    • Echography (US) and mammography are common imaging modalities for breast evaluation.
    • Comparative analysis of these techniques is crucial for optimizing diagnostic strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the diagnostic accuracy of echography (US) and mammography in mammary pathologic conditions.
    • To evaluate the complementary role of US and mammography in breast cancer diagnosis.
    • To determine the optimal use of US and mammography based on patient age and breast composition.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 249 cases with confirmed mammary pathologic conditions.
    • Comparative study of diagnostic accuracy between echography (US) and mammography.
    • Cytologic and/or histological examinations for confirmation of diagnoses.

    Main Results:

    • Echography (US) demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy for benign breast pathology compared to mammography.
    • Mammography showed higher accuracy in diagnosing malignancies.
    • Echography (US) identified and corrected some diagnostic errors made by mammography, highlighting complementarity.
    • For women under 30, US is suggested as the primary examination.
    • US has limitations in evaluating fatty breasts in older women.

    Conclusions:

    • Echography (US) and mammography are complementary techniques for diagnosing mammary pathologic conditions.
    • The choice of imaging modality should consider patient age and suspected pathology.
    • US is particularly valuable for benign conditions and as an initial screening tool in younger women.
