Safety remains paramount; sonographers are encouraged to keep acoustic output As Low As Reasonably Achievable. Sonography 2014 - Breast Ultrasound

Terms were standardized across all imaging modalities, ensuring that a "spiculated margin" meant the same thing to a radiologist whether they were looking at a mammogram or an ultrasound. The Role of Ultrasound in Dense Breast Tissue The Evolution of Precision: Insights from the 2014

Research highlighted in 2014 continued to emphasize ultrasound’s role as an indispensable adjunct to mammography . In women with dense breast tissue, mammography sensitivity can be as low as 30–48%, but adding high-resolution ultrasound can increase cancer detection by 3–4 additional cancers per 1,000 women . Optimization and Technology In women with dense breast tissue, mammography sensitivity

Achieving these diagnostic results requires meticulous technique. According to AIUM Practice Parameters, high-quality breast imaging in 2014 relied on:
