Role of Automated Breast Ultrasound System (ABUS) as Screening Tool in Comparison To Mammogram in Detect of Different Breast Lesions
Journal Title: The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 72, Issue 6
Abstract
<span>Background: </span><span>Mammography is an effective randomized controlled trial-proven method for reducing mortality due to breast cancer. However, the sensitivity of mammography depends on breast density. The current supplemental screening options include breast ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Automated breast ultrasound system (ABUS) is an option proposed to overcome the time-consuming and costly nature of handheld, physician-performed whole-breast US (WBUS).<br /> </span><span>Objectives: </span><span>To evaluate the utility of automated breast ultrasound system (ABUS) in detection of different breast lesions especially in dense breast in comparison to mammogram.<br /> </span><span>Patients and Method: </span><span>It is prospective study included 25 women outreached for digital mammography or handheld ultrasound examination at the general Egyptian hospitals. Women have no specific age group. </span><span>Results: </span><span>The use of ABUS with the mammogram shows significant increased frequency of detection of positive benign lesions in ACR class C and D in comparison to class A and B and insignificance malignant lesions detection.<br /> </span><span>Conclusion: </span><span>ABUS reflects a promising modality in breast imaging however appears to be on a par with mammogram in terms of diagnostic quality. </span>
