Abstract
A new method of automatic breast volume ultrasonography (ABVS) brings out new possibilities for the evaluation of occult breast cancer, missed on X-ray mammography due to dense breast glandular tissue. This is primarily due to the opportunity to assess the 3D format of whole breast by one scan with evaluation of a typical for malignancy spicularity or retraction phenomenon, high quality digital imaging technologies that enhance the visualization of retroareolar area, opportunity to work with the image on the working station, in the absence of the patient, the possibility of obtaining comparable scans and use them to monitor pathological formations. We present our own clinical case of occult breast cancer in a patient with a dense glandular background, demonstrating the possibilities of automatic volume sonography.
