A New Automated, High Resolution Ultrasound Breast Scanner

Abstract

Ultrasound breast scanning has proved valuable in research settings but has not received widespread clinical usage due to the lack of suitable, commercially-available instruments. A new scanner designed for ultrasound breast screening has been developed with innovations in four areas: resolution, patient positioning, automation, and image storage and display. These innovations are described and representative scans are shown.
