Neg Predictive Value of Sono w/Mammo

ABSTRACT: Negative Predictive Value of Sonography with Mammography in Patients with Palpable Breast Lesions [10/22/2001; American Journal of Roentgenology]

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to determine the negative predictive value of sonography with mammography in evaluating palpable breast lesions.

CONCLUSION: The negative predictive value of sonography with mammography is high, and together these imaging modalities can be reassuring if follow-up is planned when the physical examination is not highly suspicious.

However, if the physical examination is suspicious, biopsy should not be delayed.
