Clinical Application of Automated Breast Ultrasound
View through CrossRef
Automatic breast ultrasound (ABUS) has been developed to compensate for the shortcomings of hand-held ultrasound (HHUS) and is mainly used for breast cancer screening purposes in women with dense breasts. Since 2021, ABUS has been covered by the Korean National Health Insurance System. It is important to scan the entire breast on ABUS and to identify the poor-quality images requiring re-scanning. In addition, a general understanding of the unique ABUS display mode, distinguishing benign from malignant lesions, the diagnostic performance of breast cancer screening, and the application of computer-aided detection/diagnosis systems is necessary to use ABUS efficiently. This review explores the acquisition method, image quality, and image characteristics of ABUS to improve general understanding of this procedure and its advantages over HHUS, so that ABUS can be applied efficiently in clinical practice.
