Abstract

Automated breast ultrasonography (ABUS) is increasingly used as a screening tool. Several studies have demonstrated a similar diagnostic performance for ABUS compared with handheld ultrasonography (HHUS), but the overall results have been controversial. To compare the clinical utility of ABUS and HHUS for detection and diagnosis of breast lesions. ABUS and HHUS images of suspicious breast lesions were obtained for 173 consecutive women scheduled to undergo ultrasonography (US)-guided or stereotactic biopsy. There were a total of 206 lesions, 46 of which were malignant and 160 benign. Three breast radiologists took part in this study: two reviewed the ABUS images, and the third reviewed all of the images, ABUS and HHUS, as well as the patients' medical records. The biopsied-lesion-detection rates were obtained. Using the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), the images of the biopsied lesions were evaluated. Factors affecting ABUS detectability were analyzed. The overall detection rates were 83.0% for ABUS and 94.2% for HHUS. Ten lesions were not detected on either HHUS or ABUS and these were microcalcifications (one malignancy and nine benign lesions). Of the 194 HHUS-detected lesions, 169 were detected by ABUS an...Continue Reading
