title: High-quality breast ultrasonography.
abstract: Ultrasonography is an important modality that is frequently used in all aspects of breast imaging, including breast cancer screening, the evaluation of palpable abnormalities, further characterization of lesions seen mammographically, and for determining the method of percutaneous biopsy. Understanding the basic technical aspects of ultrasonography equipment is critical to ensure high breast ultrasonography image quality.
