Fig. 5

A 42-year-old female patient presenting with tender right breast. Tomosynthesis CC and MLO views of the right breast confirmed the previously described mammographic findings (not shown), however, with less fibroglandular tissue overlap and thus better delineation of the margins (BIRADS III). Automated ultrasound right medial coronal image shows a large defect at 2:30 o’clock. Automated ultrasound right medial axial image shows a right oval-shaped mass with indistinct margin, parallel orientation and hypoechoic echo genic cyst (BIRADS III). The lesion was proved to be inflammatory mastitis with acute abscess formation by aspiration of the abscess content. Automated ultrasound was superior to tomosynthesis in predicting the exact pathology
