title: Ultrasonic attenuation in fibroadenoma of the breast.
abstract: Fifteen patients are described who attended out Breast Screening Programme, and were found to have sclerosed fibroadenomas, the imaging of which raised the possibility of carcinoma. In six of these a reflective zone between a mass lesion and distal acoustic shadowing might have been used to infer the benign diagnosis.
