title: [Ultrasonic study of the breast: examination technic--criteria for diagnosis].
abstract: Sonography of the breast is an important supplement of conventional mammography and allows for differentiation between solid and cystic lesions. Moreover, fine needle puncture under ultrasound guidance and permanent view is possible. Typical sonographical signs of benign and malignant focal lesions are demonstrated comparing them with corresponding mammograms. Ultrasound examination alone, however, is insufficient for screening of breast cancers.
