title: [The study of ultrasonographic diagnosis on breast diseases].
abstract: 15 sonomammographic findings of 341 histologically proved breast masses were reviewed to improve and objectify the current diagnostic criteria of sonomammography. The author proposed the renewed plan of the diagnostic criteria and the judgement method of benign or malignant breast masses on an electronic linear scanner, offering the author's original diagnostic concept particularly about the shape and the internal echo. This diagnostic approach demonstrated a sensitivity of 93.2%, specificity of 85.9%, and accuracy of 89.7%, which sufficiently showed to raise differential diagnostic capability for breast masses.
