Why hasn’t breast ultrasound screening been incorporated into routine clinical practice? In this second part of a series, I examine real and perceived barriers to screening with ABUS, including clinical and technical workflow, training, and density notification.
With demonstrated value as an adjunct to screening mammography, I believe ABUS can be the modality that improves screening for women with dense breasts. I believe ABUS can be used to reduce interval cancers in women with dense breast tissue now being missed by relying on screening mammography only.
