3-D Doppler Ultrasound Helps ID Breast Cancers
TUESDAY, Oct. 21 — Radiologists can now better distinguish malignant and benign breast masses by using three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasound, a new report says.
Blood flow through malignant breast masses is often higher compared with normal tissue or benign masses. The Doppler ultrasound allows radiologists to detect vessels with higher flow speeds, which likely indicate cancer.
The study will be published in the November issue of Radiology.
