Abstract

Experiences with sonography of the female breast are reported by a practising gynaecologist. Examples are described to show in what way sonography of the breast can be used to supplement x-ray film and thermography. Comments are made on the equipment required. The experiences cover a period of two years. Out of 2138 patients subjected to mammography, additional sonography was performed in 240 women. 28 carcinomas of the breast were detected. It is concluded that sonography is a meaningful additional method of examination to be performed complementary to mammography.
