[Modern methods in the diagnosis of breast disease (author's transl)].
240 patients attending a surgical clinic for breast diseases were examined clinically and subjected to mammography, thermography and ultrasonic investigation. Histological reports are available in 98 cases, enabling an evaluation of the accuracy of the used diagnostic methods. The most efficient diagnostic method is X-ray mammography, followed by thermography and ultrasound diagnosis, but these procedures are still fraught with methodological and technical problems.
