MED02 Ultrasound Examinations on the Breast Model
Ultrasound Examinations on the Breast Model Investigation of a realistic breast model with tumors and their localization and size estimation using the B-mode technique The examination of a realistic breast model with tumors and their localization and size estimation using the B-mode technique provides a typical application of ultrasound in medical diagnostics. Keywords: reflection, scattering, ultrasound imaging, pulse-echo technique, A-mode, B-mode, breast sonography, tumor size Mamma sonography, i.e. ultrasound examination of the breast, is, alongside mammography (X-ray examination), the most important imaging method for diagnosing benign and malignant changes in breast tissue. It is used in the early detection of breast cancer. The strength of sonography lies in its ability to distinguish between changes consisting of solid tissue and cavities filled with fluid (cysts). This method can be used, for example, to take a tissue sample from the breast in a controlled manner. Immediately
