Breast ultrasonography (US) is currently considered the first-line examination in the detection and characterization of breast lesions. However, conventional handheld US (HHUS) has several limitations such as operator dependence and the requirement of a considerable amount of radiologist time for whole-breast US. Automated breast US (ABUS), recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for screening purposes, has several advantages over HHUS, such as higher reproducibility, less operator dependence, and less required physician time for image acquisition. In addition, ABUS provides both a coronal view and a relatively large field of view. Recent studies have reported that ABUS is promising in US screening for women with dense breasts and can potentially replace handheld second-look US in a preoperative setting.
乳腺超声（US）目前被认为是检测和描述乳腺病变的首选检查方法。然而，传统的手持式超声（HHUS）有一些局限性，例如操作人员的依赖性以及对放射科医生进行全乳腺 US 检查的大量时间要求。最近，美国食品和药物管理局批准自动乳腺超声（ABUS）用于筛查目的，它具有比 HHUS 更多的优势，如更高的可重复性、更少的操作人员依赖性以及更少的图像采集所需的医生时间。此外，ABUS 还提供冠状视图和相对较大的视野。最近的研究表明，ABUS 在乳腺超声筛查致密乳腺的女性中很有前途，并且有可能在术前环境中替代手持式二次 US 检查。
