Abstract

The cure rate for breast cancer can be improved only by achieving higher accuracy in the diagnosis of early tumor stages. Concentrated efforts are therefore being made to increase the accuracy of techniques used to detect early changes. Sonography, which is now a well-established diagnostic technique for evaluating parenchymatous organs, complements clinical techniques, which are either invasive or expose the patient to radiation. By combining the various techniques, method-related errors can be compensated and minimized and consequently the diagnostic accuracy increased, particularly for circumscribed changes of the breast.
