From: Characterization of breast masses: a comparative study between automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT)

Fig. 3

A 74-year-old female patient was presented to us by a clinically palpable left breast lump. Digital mammography tomosynthesis CC and MLO views (a, b) of the left breast show an oval-shaped circumscribed high-density UOQ mass with no associated skin thickening (BIRADS IV). Automated ultrasound left AP coronal image (c) show small irregular defect at distance 28.3 mm from the nipple. Automated ultrasound image (d) shows a right irregular shaped mass with spiculated margins, non- parallel orientation, and heterogeneous echo pattern. (BIRADS V). A core biopsy was done and revealed adenocarcinoma. Automated ultrasound was superior to tomosynthesis in the characterization of the lesion while tomosynthesis was superior in the detection of axillary lymphadenopathy
