Features Automated Volumetric Scanning (ABVS) in Specifying the Diagnosis of Breast Nodules
Objective. To determine the effectiveness of the application of automated bulk scanning (ABVS) in specifying the diagnosis of breast nodules. Materials and Methods. The study involved 39 patients with pathologic formations in the mammary glands taken from the 915 held comprehensive mammography, including: clinical examination, ultrasound, digital X-ray mammography and needle biopsy on the basis of State Organization “Russian Scientific Center of Radiology” (RNTSRR) Ministry health of the Russian Federation for the period of 05.06 on 26.06.2014. Results. Possibilities and advantages of ABVS were detected. It was found that the automated sonotomography (3D ABVS) has more high sensitivity in the qualifying diagnosis in young women, nulliparous developed glandular tissue. Sensitivity (3D ABVS) in detecting breast cancer was 99.9%. Conclusions. The ultrasound scan with automated volume breast is an additional method in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules and can be included in the diagnostic algorithm study of this group of patients.
