COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MAMMOGRAPHY, ULTRASONOGRAPHY AND COMBINATION FOR VARIOUS MAMMOGRAPHIC COMPOSITIONS

Dr. Dhananjay Ghodke, Dr. Prateek Singh

Abstract :

Objective: To compare the performance of mammography (MG) and ultrasonography (USG) separately and combination (MG+USG) for detection of east lesions in various mammographic compositions. Material and Methods: This retrospective study carried out in the Department of Radio–diagnosis, MGIMS, Sewagram using electronic data of 496 patients of mammography and USG done from May 2015 to September 2018. Result: For composition A or B there was no significant difference in sensitivity between MG+USG and mammography alone or mammography and USG. But for composition C or D there was a significant difference. Conclusion: USG is better modality for detecting lesions in mammographically dense east and MG+USG have significantly higher sensitivity than observed for mammography alone in detecting east pathologies.
