Abstract
The most important roles of breast imaging are the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, reasure the patient with benign breast lesion and to help the surgeon to chose the proper managment. The purpose of our study is to discus the proper integration of ultrasound to diagnose different breast pathologies. In our study the fourty (40) patients were selected complaining of palpable breast lump(s) with or without other associated symptoms. nnd . subjected to clinical examination, sonogruphy und III um mogrnphy I then biopsy and’ histopathological examination was pertormcd. ’l’he collected datu were analysed and the final results were compared with the results of other authers. Breast ultrasound should be performed either an adjunct to mammography or peri or to mammography or as a stand - alone procedure, because the sonogruphic characteristics suggest a certain breast pathology, for example, malignant masses predominantly exhibit jagged wall structure, and the most common solid benign mass is typicay u smooth ¬walled structure. The internal echopatterns arc nonhomogeneous in the malignant mass and homogeneous in benign mass. Attenuation shadowing is a much more common feature of the malign at mass, but most cystic lesions shows posterior enhancement and lateral shadowing. Lastly we concluded that: I - Sonography has the following properties: 1 - It is a simple, safe and non invasive method of investigation. 2 - It easily differentiates cystic from solid lesions.
