The role and possibilities of automated breast ultrasound in breast cancer screening in women with high density breast tissue

Abstract

The aim of our study was to improve the diagnosis of breast nodules on a high dense breast tissue. The study involved 280 women with high dense breast tissue (ACR C,D BI-RADS 2015) aged 26 to 83 years (mean age 47.5 years), all women underwent standard digital mammography in two projections and automated breast ultrasound scanning in three projections. The addition of ABUS to mammography in the basic algorithm of the study increases the effectiveness of the diagnosis of nodules: increased sensitivity by 22.9% (MG – 75.9%, MG+ABUS – 98.8%), reduced specificity by 6.95% (MG – 86.7%, MG+ABUS – 79.75%), the added value is 11.25%. The added value of ABUS and HHUS are equal, but the ABUS allows to standardize, store and transmit the data with the possibility of a second reading, as well as to reduce the time of interpretation of the study twice in comparison with HHUS. Thus, ABUS can be used as an additional screening method for women with high dense breast or as the main method of mass examination for young women.
