2001 MAY 17 - (NewsRx Network) -- Breast harmonic imaging, a new ultrasound technique, can be successfully used to diagnose hard to see breast cysts, which could eliminate the need for some biopsies, a study shows.

A study of 30 patients with 117 breast cysts found that harmonic imaging provides higher resolution and better detail of small cysts or cysts that are deeper in the breast than conventional ultrasound, reported Derek Muradali, MD, of the University Health Network and Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Canada, on April 30, 2001, at the American Roentgen Ray Society annual meeting in Seattle, Washington.

The patients in the study underwent a conventional ultrasound examination and a harmonic imaging examination. Two radiologists reviewed the conventional ultrasound images and the harmonic images and found, in 80% of the cases, that harmonic images were "superior to conventional ultrasound," says Muradali. The radiologists did not know ...
