[Ultrasonic diagnosis of breast cancer--principle and practice].
The ultrasonic diagnosis of breast cancer has been expected as a promising approach together with its various clinical advantages and with its improved diagnostic accuracy based on the advances in the ultrasonic tissue visualization techniques. Among various advanced new techniques for the ultrasonic breast tissue imaging such as C-mode display by realtime scanner, ultrasound CT, ultrasound holography, ultrasonic Doppler imaging, most usual ultrasonotomographic instruments which apply the modality of waterpath mechanical single linear and compound scanning are introduced from the point of the history of technical development, principle and practical procedure.
