Diagnostic Performance Using Automated Breast Ultrasound System for Breast Cancer in Chinese Women Aged 40 Years or Older: A Comparative Study
The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of the automated breast ultrasound system (ABUS) compared with hand-held ultrasonography (HHUS) and mammography (MG) for breast cancer in women aged 40 y or older. A total of 594 breasts in 385 patients were enrolled in the study. HHUS, ABUS and MG exams were performed for these patients. Follow-up and pathologic findings were used as the reference standard. Based on the reference standard, 519 units were benign or normal and 75 were malignant.
