A 51-year-old female patient was presented with a left UOQ breast lump. a, b Digital breast mammography tomosynthesis MLO and CC views of the left breast show an oval-shaped micro lobulated high-density mass at UOQ with no skin thickening (BIRADS IV). Automated ultrasound left medial coronal image (c) shows focal irregular defect with retraction phenomena at distance 97.3 mm from the nipple. Automated ultrasound left medial axial image (d) shows an irregular shaped mass with spiculated margin, non-parallel orientation, and heterogeneous echo pattern (BIRADS IV). A core biopsy was done and revealed invasive duct carcinoma. Automated ultrasound was superior to tomosynthesis in the characterization of this lesion by detection of the fine speculation
