Summary:Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound is a technique, in which almost the entire breast is automatically scanned. Data sets can be stored and reviewed at a later date. This almost completely eliminates the subjective character of conventional ultrasound, enabling a more reliable review and follow-up. 3-D ultrasound can be implemented in daily radiological practice and could possibly be used in population screening programmes for breast cancer.
