title: Role of Ultrasonography in Breast Cancer Imaging.
abstract: Familiarity with breast ultrasound in terms of technique, indications, anatomy, and interpretation is vital for proper breast examinations. Ultrasound is a basic method of approaching breast masses and an important tool in interventional breast procedures. Combination of mammogram and ultrasound examinations when indicated is an effective method in increasing rate of cancer detection. Second-look ultrasound is an effective method to localize lesions missed in the initial scanning.
