Due to its lower cost, safety, and usefulness for cancer detection in dense breasts, ultrasound has become an increasingly important modality in breast imaging. Automated Breast Ultrasound for Screening and Diagnosis brings you fully up to date with recent technical advances in all aspects of breast ultrasound, with focus on whole breast imaging using volumetric automated breast ultrasound equipment. It provides comprehensive, practical information including step-by-step guidance on performing and interpreting supine and prone patient automated screening and diagnostic studies. Key topics include: where and when breast ultrasound is used in today’s multimodality workups to complement MRI, 2D mammography, and 3D tomosynthesis; how to perform procedures effectively; and strategies for improving positive predictive values for biopsy.
