Breast Sonography Examination of realistic breast models with cysts or tumors using the ultrasound B-mode technique Introduction to imaging ultrasound diagnostics based on the B-mode technique through the examination of realistic breast models with fluid-filled cysts or malignant tumors Keywords: ultrasound diagnostics, ultrasound imaging, B-mode procedure, array probe, breast sonography, cyst, tumor, artifact Breast sonography is the examination of the breast using the ultrasound B-scan technique. It is used in medical diagnostics as a supplement to palpation and X-ray mammography. Using two realistic breast replicas as examples, the possibilities and limitations of the B-scan technique can be examined and the basic handling of an ultrasound B-scan device can be trained. Both breast models are made of a material that simulates the haptic properties of real soft tissue and enables ultrasound images with tissue-like texture and echogenicity. One of the breast replicas has fluid-filled,
