Summary

With the proposed project we seek to advance the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer in an outpatient breast clinic. Novel sonographic approaches will be scrutinized. The first aim of this study will be to explore whether there is an advantage of ductosonography over conventional breast sonography in detecting and localizing breast lesions by comparing the diagnostic accuracy of ductosonography and conventional breast sonography in detecting suspicious and unclear sonographic lesions.In Addition, reliability and time requirement of ductosonographic examination will be investigated. The second specific aim is to investigate the potential of tissue elasticity as a diagnostic marker in solid breast lesions (US-BI-RADS 3, 4 and 5) by elastosonography. The study design allows investigating the reproducibility of the method.
