Recent years have witnessed a dynamic development of mammary gland imaging
techniques, particularly ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. A
challenge related to these studies is the increase in the precision of the
anatomical assessment of breast, particularly for early detection of subclinical
lesions, performance of ultrasound- guided biopsy procedures, and accurate
preoperative location of pathological lesions so as to optimize the surgical
treatment. Ultrasound imaging is a primary and baseline diagnostic procedure the
patient with suspected pathological lesions within breast is referred to by the
surgeon. Lesions visualized in ultrasound scans are classified according to the
BI-RADS US assessment categories. The successive categories (2 through 6)
encompass individual pathological lesions, estimating the risk of malignancy and
provide guidelines for further diagnostic and therapeutic management. This
article described the important aspects of ultrasonographic imaging of focal
lesions within the breasts as significant from the standpoint of surgical
treatment of patients falling within BI-RADS US categories 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Attention is drawn to the importance of ultrasound scans in the assessment of
axillary fossa lymph nodes before the decision regarding the surgical treatment.
