Performance of hand-held whole-breast ultrasound based on BI-RADS in women with mammographically negative dense breast.
Summary of "Performance of hand-held whole-breast ultrasound based on BI-RADS in women with mammographically negative dense breast."
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the performance of breast ultrasound based on BI-RADS final assessment categories in women with mammographically negative dense breast.
METHODS:
Of 3,820 cases with mammographically negative dense breast and subsequent hand-held bilateral whole-breast ultrasound, a total of 1,507 cases in 1,046 women who had biopsy or at least 2-year follow-up ultrasound constituted the basis of this retrospective study. Cancer rate of each sonographic BI-RADS category was determined and medical audit was performed separately in screening-general, screening-treated, and diagnostic group.
RESULTS:
A total of 43 cases (2.9%) were confirmed as malignancy. Cancer rate among BI-RADS categories was significantly different (p < 0.0001). Among three groups, the cancer rate was significantly different (p < 0.0001) and the highest in diagnostic group (15.8%, 22 of 139). Abnormal interpretation rate, PPV of biopsy performed, cancer detection rate, and rate of early stage cancer, and the size of invasive cancer were significantly different among three groups and the highest in diagnostic group. Regarding cancer characteristics, the proportion of advanced cancer was the highest in diagnostic group.
CONCLUSION:
Breast ultrasound based on BI-RADS as an adjunctive to negative mammography can be useful for predicting malignancy in women with dense breast.

Dental Instruments
Hand-held tools or implements especially used by dental professionals for the performance of clinical tasks.
Surgical Instruments
Hand-held tools or implements used by health professionals for the performance of surgical tasks.
Ultrasonography, Mammary
Use of ultrasound for imaging the breast. The most frequent application is the diagnosis of neoplasms of the female breast.
Biometric Identification
A method of differentiating individuals based on the analysis of qualitative or quantitative biological traits or patterns. This process which has applications in forensics and identity theft prevention includes DNA profiles or DNA fingerprints, hand fingerprints, automated facial recognition, iris scan, hand geometry, retinal scan, vascular patterns, automated voice pattern recognition, and ultrasound of fingers.
Rotarod Performance Test
A performance test based on forced MOTOR ACTIVITY on a rotating rod, usually by a rodent. Parameters include the riding time (seconds) or endurance. Test is used to evaluate balance and coordination of the subjects, particular in experimental animal models for neurological disorders and drug effects.
