Acorn cyst sign

Acorn cyst sign is a radiologic sign indicating the presence of a benign uncomplicated cyst in ultrasound examinations of the breast. Breast ultrasound and Acorn cyst sign are breast imaging and medical ultrasonography.

Automated whole-breast ultrasound

Automated whole-breast ultrasound (AWBU) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to obtain volumetric ultrasound data of the entire breast. Breast ultrasound and Automated whole-breast ultrasound are breast imaging and medical ultrasonography.

Dense breast tissue

Dense breast tissue, also known as dense breasts, is a condition of the breasts where a higher proportion of the breasts are made up of glandular tissue and fibrous tissue than fatty tissue. Breast ultrasound and dense breast tissue are breast imaging.

Elastography

Elastography is any of a class of medical imaging modalities that map the elastic properties and stiffness of soft tissue.

Fine-needle aspiration

Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a diagnostic procedure used to investigate lumps or masses.

Galactography

Galactography or ductography (or galactogram, ductogram) is a medical diagnostic procedure for viewing the milk ducts. Breast ultrasound and Galactography are breast imaging.

Lactiferous duct

Lactiferous ducts are ducts that converge and form a branched system connecting the nipple to the lobules of the mammary gland.

Mammography

Mammography (also called mastography: DICOM modality. Breast ultrasound and Mammography are breast imaging.

See Breast ultrasound and Mammography

Mastitis

Mastitis is inflammation of the breast or udder, usually associated with breastfeeding.

Medical ultrasound

Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. Breast ultrasound and Medical ultrasound are medical ultrasonography.
