“…The total number of images and acquisition time for the ABVS system were reasonable for both diagnostic and screening populations. In addition, the scan times were comparable to other published studies (12,15,17,29). Automated images obtained in a standardized manner with a high-frequency transducer allows for optimal image quality when allowing the radiologist or technologist to devote their time to other patients or reviewing studies instead of having to perform HHBUS (13)(14)(15).…”

“…In the study by Wang et al (17), they evaluated the diagnostic value of ABVS in comparison to HHBUS in breast lesions going to biopsy. Their study population consisted of 239 lesions (85 cancers and 154 benign lesions).…”

“…With the development of high-frequency transducers, whole breast ultrasound has achieved automation and high resolution (12,17,18). Because of the digital character, each sectional plane of saved volume can be seen, consequently avoiding investigator-dependence and nonstandardized documentation (19).…”

“…Fifth, the ABVS probe is too large to examine the axillary region. Sixth, flow information cannot be imaged by ABVS (23), whereas the flow detail provided by color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and arterial resistance index measured by pulsed Doppler (PDU) are still important modalities for evaluating breast malignancy. Thus, combining ABVS with CDFI and PDU can improve the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in detecting malignant breast lesions over any single method alone (24).…”

On the background of new research results in screening of breast cancer, together with the expectation of the participants in a screening for breast cancer, the conventional mammography requires supplementation by means of tomosynthesis or additive ultrasound. Alternatively, ultrasound now seems to be an independent method of early detection of breast cancer because of its superior sensitivity, especially in the case of aggressive mammary carcinoma types. The MRI remains at present still a preferred method in high-risk cases and as an additive examination in case of insufficient presentation of the glandular tissue by conventional methods. MRI is also preoperatively valuable for more accurately measuring the extent of multifocal carcinomas. Key wordsbrest cancer screening, mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI Aim This paper focuses on contemporary results of research with regard to the three main modalities in breast imaging: mammography, breast ultrasound and MRI.Recommendations for diagnostic procedures are orientated on expectations of the participant in screening in relation to contemporary research.
