Non-invasive ultrasound localization of impalpable breast lesions. 1993

Department of Diagnostic Radiology, University Hospital of South Manchester.

Thirty patients presenting through the Breast Screening Programme with impalpable breast abnormalities clearly visible on ultrasound, underwent non-invasive ultrasound localization. The patient was scanned so that the ultrasound abnormality lay below the probe and the skin at this site marked with a skin marker. In all cases the abnormality was easily identified and removed at surgery. All the surgical biopsies contained either a carcinoma (17 cases) or fibroadenoma (13 cases). This non-invasive technique is a simple and accurate method for localizing small ultrasonically visible breast abnormalities.
