[Results of real-time sonography and raster mammography of 200 breast cancers].
The article reports on 200 patients with histologically verified carcinomas of the breast in whom both real time mammasonography and grid mammography were performed. The indications for additional use of real time sonography in the diagnosis of malignant diseases of the female breast were a palpable node or a suspicious finding in mammography. All patients were examined with a high resolution realtime scanner with a 7.5 MHz transducer. The diagnostic criteria of sound deep to the mass (type I-IV), the regularity of the conteur of the mass, and the presence or absence of internal echoes. The typical sonographic features of histologically different types of carcinoma of the female breast are demonstrated by means of case examples. Mammasonography offers a high degree of accuracy in preoperative differential diagnostic assessment of tumour status in malignant processes of the breast. The combined mammographic-sonographic evaluation is the method of choice in clinical evaluation of masses of the female breast.
