Clinical Role of Breast Ultrasound:A Systematic review

Background: Early detection and diagnosis of breast disease, especially breast cancer However, excessive follow-up or unnecessary biopsy Digestion is the greatest challenge of mammography. physical examination and mammography to increase diagnostic accuracy and to reduce unnecessary surgical biopsy. This article is to review the indication of breast ultrasound examinations as well as merits and limitations compared to mammography Methods: This systematic review study, in 2018, searches for keywords such as Breast Ultrasound; Breast cancer; Diagnosis was performed on valid data databases such as PUBMED, Clinical Key, ISI.

It can also be used as a supplemental modality of a physical examination and mammography to increase diagnostic accuracy and to reduce unnecessary surgical biopsy. Conclusion: The current indication for breast ultrasonography is clinical signs Evaluation of abnormalities of breast or mammography, Evaluation, and induction of biopsy. However,Malignancy, post-operative follow-up, and high-risk screening. Breast ultrasound is used for physical examination, mammography, etc. Together, it improves the diagnosis rate of breast cancer, Biopsy can be reduced. The accuracy of breast ultrasonography And the quality of the inspection equipment, diagnosis should be done by proper and proper equipment Can be achieved.
