Summary

This study looked at whether an automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) can be used instead of a handheld ultrasound (HHUS) to screen for breast cancer in women who have had breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. Twelve women who had nipple-sparing or skin-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction took part. The goal was to see if ABUS detects leftover tissue as well as the standard handheld method.
