title: [A preliminary communication on the possibility of the differential diagnosis of breast nodules by Doppler ultrasonography].
abstract: The diagnostic possibilities of Doppler velocimetry with spectral analysis have been assessed in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast cancers. The study considers 18 patients with mammary nodules. The data obtained with Doppler velocimetry are compared with those of mammographic, cytological and histopathological studies. Although statistically insignificant owing to the small series examined, the results suggest that the technique is highly reliable.
