Abstract

Radiographic examination of the breast has been so improved that it became a routine complement to physicalexamination. From November 1, 1983 through Sept.30, 1984, 684 patient with complaints of various breast problemwere examined by low-dose film mammography at Yong Done Hospital, Yonesei University. Among them, a comparativestudies, independently conducted physical examination, 97 cases of film mammography, 35 cases of ultrasoundmammography, 16 cases of aspiration cytology, and 3 cases of galactography were performed for our pathologicallyproven 98 cases of breast disease. Combined and complementary studies for breast diseases were analyzed in 37proven cases and authors found that specificity of those combined immediate complementary study techniques forbreast disease were 94% under colose cooperation with surgeon in Yong Dong Hospital, Yonsei University.
