[Clinical experiences with ultrasound-reflection computerized tomography of the breast].
Ultrasound-reflection computed tomography (URCT) of the breast can produce astonishingly detailed high resolution images of the breast, particularly in the coronal plane. In some cases it improves the demonstration of the structure of scirrhous carcinomas in this plane. On the other hand, some valuable diagnostic features known from conventional breast sonography, such as acoustic shadows and hyper-reflective area (cysts) are suppressed on URCT images and are not readily recognized. Despite individual outstanding images, a comparison carried out on 100 patients showed no advantages of URCT compared with high-resolution real-time sonography.
