    High-resolution ultrasound effectively detects small breast tumors and cysts, complementing mammography. This diagnostic imaging offers superior accuracy for certain lesions and aids in biopsy guidance and metastasis detection.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Diagnostic Ultrasound
    • Breast Imaging

    Background:

    • Diagnostic ultrasound technology has advanced, enabling detection of smaller breast lesions.
    • Current imaging modalities have limitations in diagnosing certain breast conditions, particularly cystic lesions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and capabilities of modern high-resolution ultrasound in breast lesion detection.
    • To compare ultrasound's efficacy against other methods like mammography and clinical palpation.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized high-resolution ultrasound systems for breast lesion detection.
    • Analyzed imaging characteristics of various breast lesions including fibroadenomas, carcinomas, and fibrous dysplasia.
    • Employed contact ultrasonography for three-dimensional localization for biopsy and metastasis assessment.

    Main Results:

    • Ultrasound can detect solid tumors as small as 5 mm and cystic lesions of 2 mm.
    • Diagnostic ultrasound demonstrates high overall accuracy, superior to mammography for cystic lesions.
    • Characteristic echographic patterns differentiate fibroadenomas, carcinomas, and fibrous dysplasia.

    Conclusions:

    • High-resolution ultrasound is a highly accurate and valuable tool in breast imaging.
    • Ultrasonography complements mammography and clinical examination, improving diagnostic capabilities.
    • Contact ultrasonography facilitates precise lesion localization for biopsy and staging.
