[Ultrasound mammography:special applications (author's transl)].
Clinical observations on more than 700 patients between September 1979 and October 1980 are reported. If cysts are suspected clinically, ultrasound mammography provides the most reliable diagnosis and is superior to all other methods for localization, fine-needle biopsy and follow-up. Since it is difficult to assess (due to summation effects), the radiologically dense breast (DY) is a further indication for sonography. In case of excentrically located palpatory findings, pregnant or immobile patients, ultrasound mammography can provide valuable diagnostic information.
