When properly performed and interpreted, US is an indispensable tool in breast imaging. Despite improvements in equipment, the major roles for US in the breast remain the differentiation of cysts from solid masses and the guidance of interventional procedures. Neither of these are trivial tasks, for they have significantly reduced the number of surgical biopsies performed in the United States. Research studies investigating feature analysis and Doppler show future potential for US to be used to differentiate benign from malignant solid masses.
当操作得当且解读正确时，超声是乳腺成像中不可或缺的工具。尽管设备有所改进，但超声在乳腺方面的主要作用仍然是区分囊肿与实性肿块以及引导介入操作。这两项任务都并非微不足道，因为它们显著减少了美国进行的手术活检数量。研究特征分析和多普勒的研究表明，超声未来有潜力用于区分良性与恶性实性肿块。
