Abstract
More than 400 breast patients (primarily symptomatic) were examined with ultrasound alone and in combination with low-dose mammography. Symptomatic pregnant women and young patients with palpable masses were examined with ultrasound alone. In young, dense breasts, ultrasound surpassed mammography in the differential diagnosis of both cystic and solid masses. In older patients, the tumor characteristics displayed on ultrasound augmented those of mammography, resulting in increased diagnostic accuracy.
