Ultrasonographic in vitro examination of nonpalpable breast masses. A new method.
Specimen radiology is necessary for ensuring successful surgical excision of nonpalpable, clinically occult breast masses discovered by mammography. However, occasionally nonpalpable lesions are only detected by sonography. A simple method of ultrasonographic in vitro identification of nonpalpable lesions invisible on specimen radiographs is presented.
