An automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) uses high frequency sound waves to take 3D images of the whole breast, targeting specific areas and ensuring they are displayed in a reproducible fashion. It is especially beneficial to women with dense breast tissue, because a high breast density (Volpara) score can make a mammogram harder to read and ABUS allows the technologist to check the breast from a variety of angles offering more accurate interpretations.
ABUS is a fast and almost painless procedure which can look at both breasts in about 15 minutes. It’s often recommended as supplemental screening in conjunction with a screening mammography for women with extremely dense breast tissue (Volpara D), and women with heterogeneously dense breast tissue (Volpara C) combined with a first-degree relative (parent, sibling, child) who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
