Abstract
High frequency US probe is more informative of both spatial
and contrast resolution with increase in the sensitivity of breast
examination. A prospective study of 100 patients with
symptomatic breast disease and negative X-Ray mammography
were undertaken of 72 patients who were below 35 years of
age. Ultrasonography was performed using high frequency
(10-13MHz) annular phased array transducer. In 28 patients
(28%) focal abnormalities were observed. 12 patients had
nodular lesions (6 malignant), 14 had cystic lesions and 2 had
galactasia. It is suggested that high frequency breast US is a
useful tool in examination of symptomatic breasts, particularly
in relatively younger patients.
