Abstract

Aim: Ultrasonography for the evaluation of hyperechoic breast lesions.
Material and methods: The retrospective clinical study was conducted, after ethical
permission from the institution. An ultrasonographically guided core needle biopsy was
performed on 980 of 1000 subjects, with 51 percent (n=510) of lesions being benign, 41
percent (n=410) being malignant, and 8 percent (n=80) being high risk. A single
radiologist with expertise in the field performed the ultrasonographically guided core
needle biopsy, ultrasonographic imaging, and associated interpretation. Two orthogonal
views were captured for documentation. Clinical and mammography parameters and
clinical aspects, as well as additional radiologic imaging reports, were evaluated for all
research individuals.
