Abstract
A review of current foreign and Russian literature on automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) is presented. The publications were searched in PubMed/MEDLINE and eLibrary databases. Hand-held breast ultrasound and ABUS are discussed, the ABUS technique is described. Addition of ABUS to screening mammography demonstrates increase in detection of early invasive node-negative forms of breast cancer (pT1a-bN0M0). The possible place of ABUS in the screening setting supplemental to mammography in women with dense breasts is considered.
