[Ultrasonographic and radiographic diagnosis of breast nodules in young women].
Mammography as a priority method of diagnosis of breast nodules in young women is of low efficacy as a result of a dense background of the breast as distinct from echography permitting the detection of abnormal lesion against this background. Altogether 126 patients with clinical manifestations of breast nodules were investigated. Apparatus methods used for investigation of 38 of them, revealed but manifestations of fibrocystic mastopathy. Assessment of the efficacy of x-ray and ultrasound diagnostic methods was performed in 88 patients with breast nodules (the patients varied in age from 14 to 40). Radiodiagnostic accuracy in benign tumors was 54.1%, that in malignant tumors--78.1%. Ultrasound investigation proved to be the most informative method for diagnosis of breast nodules in young women, and the use of a proposed algorithm would permit optimization of the diagnostic process.
