Automated Breast Ultrasound Is Effective Alternative to Handheld Ultrasound for Breast Cancer Screening, Study Finds

Automated ultrasound offers reliable alternative for screening women with dense breasts

A new study in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, published by Elsevier, has found that automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) and handheld ultrasound (HHUS) had similar cancer detection rates in women with dense breasts, while ABUS had a lower false-positive rate.

A new study in the Journal of the American College of Radiology has found that automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) and handheld ultrasound (HHUS) had similar cancer detection rates in women with dense breasts, while ABUS had a lower false-positive rate. The study demonstrates that ABUS is a viable alternative to HHUS and can expand supplemental ultrasound screening capacity at radiology clinics.

Automated Breast Ultrasound Matches Handheld Screening Accuracy With Fewer

A large Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium study found automated breast ultrasound detects breast cancer at rates similar to handheld ultrasound while producing fewer false-positive results in women with dense breasts.
