TLDR
When DCIS was identified on US, it was associated with more aggressive histopathologic type and mammographic correlation is essential to differentiate benign from malignant lesion in cases seen by US; US findings of asymptomatic DCIS had a low suspicion of malignancy.
Abstract
BackgroundMost ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is asymptomatic and usually manifests as calcifications in screening mammography. On the other hand, little is known about ultrasonograp...

Potential role of shear-wave ultrasound elastography for the differential diagnosis of breast non-mass lesions: preliminary report

TL;DR: Preliminary experience with shear-wave elastography for non-mass lesions in the breast suggests SWE features could increase positive predictive values and reduce unnecessary benign biopsies of category 4a NMLs.

Non-mass-like lesions on breast ultrasonography: a systematic review

Takayoshi Uematsu
- 29 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: Various non-mass-like ultrasonography findings of the breast and the sonographic-pathologic correlation with Doppler techniques, elastography, and MRI are reviewed.

Non-mass-like breast lesions at ultrasonography: feature analysis and BI-RADS assessment.

TL;DR: The types of US classifications used in this study establish reliable references for the NML patterns when stratified according to the BI-RADS categories.

Non-mass-like lesions on breast ultrasound: classification and correlation with histology.

TL;DR: US had a high sensitivity but a low specificity in the diagnosis of non-mass-like breast lesions and a definitive diagnosis requires a US-guided biopsy.

Non-Mass Breast Lesions on Ultrasound: Feature Exploration and Multimode Ultrasonic Diagnosis.

TL;DR: The multimode ultrasonic method is simple and exhibited high diagnostic performance, which might be helpful for predicting the potential malignancy of NMLs.

Efficacy of MRI and mammography for breast-cancer screening in women with familial or genetic predisposition

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared mammography to MRI in detecting breast cancer in women with a familial or genetic predisposition to breast cancer, and found that MRI appears to be more sensitive than mammography.

Diagnostic accuracy of mammography, clinical examination, US, and MR imaging in preoperative assessment of breast cancer.

TL;DR: In nonfatty breasts, US and MR imaging were more sensitive than mammography for invasive cancer, but both MR imaging and US involved risk of overestimation of tumor extent.

A prognostic index for ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast.

TL;DR: The Van Nuys Prognostic Index (VNPI) was developed to aid in the complex treatment selection process.
