乳腺超声检查在乳腺成像中起着不可或缺的作用。该领域的技术进步使乳腺超声检查成为乳腺成像评价的重要组成部分。在其临床发病时，乳腺超声检查的作用主要是鉴别囊肿和实性肿块。复合成像和谐波等技术进步改善了病变表征。其他技术的进步，如多普勒成像，扩大视野，震颤成像，静脉造影，计算机辅助诊断和弹性成像也扩大了乳腺超声检查的临床应用。虽然其中一些技术进步仍处于研究阶段，但许多技术今天已可用于临床。我们将回顾这些技术进步，并研究它们在今天的临床乳腺成像中的作用。
Breast sonography plays an integral role in breast imaging. The technical advances in the field have made breast sonography an essential component of the breast imaging evaluation. In its clinical nascence, the role of breast sonography was primarily to differentiate cysts from solid masses. Technical advances such as compound imaging and harmonics have resulted in improved lesion characterization. Other technical advances such as Doppler imaging, extended field-of-view, fremitus imaging, intravenous contrast, computer-aided diagnosis, and elastography have also expanded the clinical applications of breast sonography. While some of these technical advances are still in the research phase, many are available today for clinical use. We will review these technical advances and examine their roles in clinical breast imaging today.
