2003 APR 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Doppler imaging may have value for differentiating focal breast lesions.

"The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the diagnostic impact of ultrasound (US) in differentiating focal breast lesions with special regard on power Doppler and US contrast agents. The sonographic evaluation of breast lesions has become a standard procedure during the past 15 years. The improvement of B-mode resolution and the use of high-frequency probes especially increased the diagnostic value of US," researchers in Germany reported.

"Assuming that the neoangiogenetic vascular architecture of solid breast lesions can be depicted reliably by color Doppler, many authors tried to differentiate between benignity and malignancy using Doppler criteria such as flow and morphologic aspects. Additionally, adjuvant techniques, such as harmonic imaging and new US contrast agents, are meant to be success-promising tools," wrote R.J. Schroeder and colleagues, Humboldt University, University Hospital.

"Whereas the sensitivity and specificity of color Doppler have varied in different studies, prognostic prediction and treatment monitoring seem to be the future areas of application. To evaluate sufficiently ...
