Purpose: To define the role of ultrasonography (US) and fine-needle aspiration biopsy
(FNAB) relative to mammography in differentiating between benign and malignant palpable …

PURPOSE: To ascertain the usefulness of real-time ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle
aspiration biopsy as an adjunct to clinical, mammographic, and sonographic assessment of …

Background: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNA) is less traumatic and technically easy to
apply to small breast tumors. Methods: A total of 382 cases of palpable breast lesions that …

PURPOSE: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonographically (US) and
stereotactically guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the diagnosis of nonpalpable …

BACKGROUND: Palpable breast tumors have traditionally been diagnosed with open
biopsy or core biopsy. We propose fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) as a reliable, cost …

Background. The authors attempted to appraise the ability of high resolution, real‐time
ultrasound to find malignant breast masses that are nonpalpable and undetectable by high …

Abstract Background and Objectives: Open breast biopsy of palpable breast masses is
widely accepted. Now, the use of high‐resolution, real‐time ultrasound (US) makes it easy to …

In recent years there appears to be a growing movement toward the use of core needle
biopsy (CNB) over fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for the detection of breast …

BACKGROUND The value of ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in
the diagnosis of nonpalpable breast lesions remains a subject of debate. To determine the …

Introduction: Recent reports have suggested that breast ultrasound (US) is of value in
distinguishing malignant from benign processes. The aim of this study was to establish the …
