Comparison of Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Mammography to Characterize Benign and Malignant Breast Masses
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
The increased quality of images obtained with ultrasound has allowed investigators to define the characteristics of specific breast masses. Although various Classifications are in use ,most investigators agree to characterize masses using four categories: shape of the lesion, margin characteristics, depth : width ratio and internal echogenicity. Within these categories, individual features show variable diagnostic value, as there is known overlap between benign and malignant characteristics. In this study the value of these criteria in discriminating between benign and malignant masses were assessed. The main aim of this study is to compare and identify better diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography, two-dimensional and threedimensional mammography that represents an interesting adjunct to the characterization of breast lesions. And also to describe the appearance of normal breast tissue and breast masses with different ultrasound modality to evaluate the contribution of this to the diagnosis of breast masses.
