Production and clinical evaluation of breast lesion skin markers for automated three-dimensional ultrasonography of the breast: a pilot study

ConclusionInexpensive, easy producible skin markers can be used for accurate lesion marking in automated ultrasound examinations of the breast while image interpretability is preserved. Any marker-induced noise and decreased image quality did not affect confidence in providing a diagnosis.Key Points• The use of a skin marker enables the reporting radiologist to identify a location which a patient is concerned about.• The developed skin marker can be used for accurate breast lesion marking in ultrasound examinations.
