“…Thus, the automated whole-breast ultrasound (ABUS) emerged. ABUS can be used as a supplementary screening, combined with mammography in patients with extremely and heterogeneously dense breasts 17 , and its use has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration since 2012.…”

“…The greatest limitation of this technique is the noninclusion of the armpit in the ABUS field of view, so that conventional manual ultrasound is necessary for the evaluation of axillary lymph nodes 17 . Moreover, the benefit of reading in real time, which allows better detailing of a given finding, is lost at the expense of the standardization of the technique and the absence of a doctor during the examination.…”

“…Other negative aspects are the impossibility of the ABUS to guide biopsies and the unavailability of the use of Doppler 17 . Finally, when used in addition to mammography to screen patients at regular risk, it presents a low positive predictive value (5.4%) of biopsies performed on lesions identified exclusively by the ABUS 17 .…”

Breast radiology has undergone significant advances in recent years, and, naturally, several possibilities open up for attending physicians. Concomitantly, it increases the responsibility to keep up to date and provide the best care for each patient. Aware of the complex implications that the implementation of some of the technological advances may bring, such as increased costs, limited availability of equipment, and a potential increase in examination time, the objective of this study is to carry out a narrative review and provide a collection of advances that, in our opinion, are already gaining ground and should be consolidated in clinical practice. We will discuss new breast imaging methods that can be used both for screening and for the diagnostic investigation of breast lesions and we will summarize the most relevant aspects of each of them, addressing the technique, applicability, positive aspects, and limitations of each modality in a standardized way.

“…Factors such as the learning curve of the automated method, the physicians' experience with each of the methods, the number of findings, the size of the breasts (since a greater amount of breast tissue may require acquisition of additional views in the automated method and represents greater tissue volume to be evaluated also in the conventional method), interfere in this measure of time in an already established way. 3 8 10 11…”

In this integrative review, we aimed to describe the records of time devoted by physicians to breast ultrasound in a review of articles in the literature, in order to observe whether the automation of the method enabled a reduction in these values. We selected articles from the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and MEDLINE databases, through Virtual Health Library (BVS), SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), PubMed, and Scopus. We obtained 561 articles, and, after excluding duplicates and screening procedures, 9 were selected, whose main information related to the guiding question of the research was synthesized and analyzed. It was concluded that the automation of breast ultrasound represents a possible strategy for optimization of the medical time dedicated to the method, but this needs to be better evaluated in comparative studies between both methods (traditional and automated), with methodology directed to the specific investigation of this potentiality.
