ABSTRACT

The presence of a lump in one's breast is a major cause for concern. Ultra-high frequency and resolution USG aids in the examination of it. While mammography can detect small tumours that are not seen on a USG scan, dense breast tissue makes it difficult to detect these tumours. In the past, researchers have looked at how to tell benign from malignant breast lesions apart. The United States The BIRADS-US classification system for localised breast lesions was also developed by the College of Radiology. Ultrasound was used to look for both benign and malignant breast tumours, and the results were compared. Methods: 67 patients were studied in a retrospective research to determine the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound. Results: When it comes to diagnosing malignant and nonmalignant lesions, ultrasound had a sensitivity of 93.9 percent, as well as an accuracy rate of 86.9 and 93.8 percent, respectively. However, there was no correlation between the side involved and tumour types (p > 0.050) when looking at the type of lesion and whether or not there was a history of breast cancer in one's family or whether or not one was fertile. Conclusions: To screen and detect people with breast lesions that are not mass-like, mammography is the best option. There are some false-positive and false-negative outcomes associated with ultrasonography screening. Ultrasound should be studied further in the detection of breast cancer patients with a high risk in the future.
