Implementation of Whole-Breast Screening Ultrasonography

Melissa A Durand et al. Radiol Clin North Am. 2017 May.

Abstract

Whole-breast screening ultrasonography is being increasingly implemented in breast imaging centers because numerous studies have shown the benefit of supplemental screening for women with dense breasts and breast density notification laws are becoming more widespread. This article reviews the numerous considerations involved in integrating a screening ultrasonography program into a busy practice.

Keywords: Dense breasts; Screening breast ultrasonography; Supplementary screening.
