[Analysis of high frequency X-ray images in 43 cases of breast cancer].
OBJECTIVE
To analyse a series of breast cancer images in high frequency X-ray for more accurate diagnosis of breast cancer.


METHODS
Forty three high frequency X-ray images of breast cancer surgically confirmed were comprehensively analyzed.


RESULTS
Of the 43 breast cancer cases, 42 were primary breast cancers and one secondary. Tumor mass was present in 38 cases, with burrs in 26. Malignant calcification was found in 13 cases, and structural derangement in 21 cases. There were 30 cases with abnormal blood vessels, and 7 cases with thick skins. Ductal and lymph drainage features were seen in 9 cases. There were 5 cases showing ox horn sign. The high frequency X-ray diagnosis of breast cancer conformed with pathologic diagnosis in 95.6% of the cases.


CONCLUSIONS
The advantages of high frequency X-ray are its extremely high clarity and good contrast. Pictures can be taken form various axises which help detect occult and tiny cancer.
