Current improvements in the area of breast ultrasound are described. Digital beam formers contributed to improving both contrast and special resolution of B-mode images and enabled other techniques. Four-dimensional images and CAD are still in progress. Elastography may reduce false-positives and unnecessary interventional procedures, especially in nonsymptomatic patients.
本文描述了乳腺超声领域当前的进展。数字波束形成器有助于提高B模式图像的对比度和空间分辨率，并促成了其他技术的发展。四维成像和计算机辅助检测仍在不断发展中。弹性成像可能会减少假阳性结果和不必要的介入性操作，尤其是在无症状患者中。
