BREAST SONOGRAPHY Maya Cohen M.D Rabin Medical Center Radiology
2006 • Serve as “Second look tool” to guide • biopsies to lesions diagnosed by MRI
Valid Role of Breast US Cysticversus solid determination
Valid Role of Breast US Evaluation of mass not visible with mammography Due to density or location
Valid Role of Breast US Evaluation of an infectedbreast For abscess
Valid Role of Breast US Evaluation of an asymmetric density Picked by mammography
