| In the last 30 years, technical improvements have directly contributed to expanding
sonographic breast imaging applications into the most important adjunctive imaging
modality for breast evaluation. Most of these advances have related to improvements
in sonographic gray-scale image resolution and contrast, but some applications such
as color Doppler imaging, elastography, optical imaging, or three-dimensional ultra-
sounds have resulted in sonographic information that is uniquely different from gray-
scale imaging. The current spectrum of new breast sonographic techniques not only
offers information uniquely different from gray-scale imaging but also involves hard-
ware advances that affect the method of image production. In this article, we discuss
the current trends in breast ultrasonography focusing on the advances to further
improve accuracy for breast lesion diagnosis. |
