Abstract
Ultrasound was suggested as a lower risk alternative to mammography for detecting breast abnormalities [including cancer]. Mammograms and ultrasonograms of 32 women patients were compared, revealing 3 distinct ultrasonic parenchymal patterns which corresponded to previously reported mammographic patterns: fatty(N1), ductal (P1 or P2) and dysplastic (DY). These constitute a new system of parenchymal classification.Keywords
