What Is a Breast Ultrasound?
Breast ultrasonography, the accuracy rate is 85% to 92%. The clinical significance is to be able to determine whether the mass is cystic or solid, which has the advantage of improving sensitivity.

Introduction to Breast Ultrasound
- Breast ultrasound has poor sensitivity to early-to-reach breast cancer, and color ultrasound can significantly increase sensitivity.
Normal breast ultrasound
- The accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis of breast cancer is 85% to 92%. Ultrasound below 5MHz has poor sensitivity (49.2%) for early-to-remove breast cancer, and high-resolution 7.5MHz or 5-10MHz ultrasound and color ultrasound can significantly improve sensitivity.
Clinical significance of breast ultrasound
- 1. Determine if there is a lump in the breast and its size and location.
- 2. Determine if the mass is cystic or solid.
- 3. Identify whether a breast lump is benign or malignant.
- 4. Interventional ultrasound applications: ultrasound guided puncture cytology and tissue biopsy.
- 5. Follow-up examination of breast tumor, postoperative examination, and observation of the effect of conservative treatment of breast cancer.
