Abstract
Ultrasonic examination of the breast with grey scale echography gives considerable information about the composition of the constituent tissues. This information alone is sometimes of major assistance in the management of the individual patient, particularly in young women with nodular breasts due to dysplastic changes. The method is complementary to the more commonly used visualization techniques and should be considered, particularly in young women, as the first imaging technique to examine palpable masses in the breast, prior to the utilization of ionizing radiation.
