Ultrasonic examination of the breast with grey scale echography gives considerable information about the composition of the constituent tissues. This information alone is sometimes of major assistance in the management of the individual patient, particularly in young women with nodular breasts due to dysplastic changes. The method is complementary to the more commonly used visualization techniques and should be considered, particularly in young women, as the first imaging technique to examine palpable masses in the breast, prior to the utilization of ionizing radiation.
乳腺的灰阶超声检查能提供有关构成组织成分的大量信息。仅凭这些信息有时对个体患者的治疗有很大帮助，尤其是对于因发育异常改变而乳房结节的年轻女性。该方法是对更常用的可视化技术的补充，特别是对于年轻女性，在使用电离辐射之前，应将其视为检查乳房可触及肿块的首选成像技术。
