Echographic characteristics and ultrasonic tissue characterization in breast tumor.
Early detection and correct diagnosis of breast cancer is necessary and an important determinant of prognosis. Clinical echography is increasingly being used as it offers a high degree of diagnostic accuracy and no physical hazards such as x-ray mammography. Ultrasonic tissue characterization study is an important factor in determining and refining diagnostic criteria and for developing new ultrasonic diagnostic equipment in clinical breast echography. Therefore, various echographic characteristics and their ultrasonic tissue characterization were analysed in various types of breast tumors such as medullary carcinoma, papillary carcinoma, scirrhous carcinoma, malignant lymphoma, lymphatic infiltration, benign cyst, fibroadenoma, cystosarcoma phylloides, gynecomastia and nodular fibrosis with fat necrosis, in routine clinical echograms.
