A review of current foreign and Russian literature on automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) is presented. The publications were searched in PubMed/MEDLINE and eLibrary databases. Hand-held breast ultrasound and ABUS are discussed, the ABUS technique is described. Addition of ABUS to screening mammography demonstrates increase in detection of early invasive node-negative forms of breast cancer (pT1a-bN0M0). The possible place of ABUS in the screening setting supplemental to mammography in women with dense breasts is considered.

This paper proposes a method for identifying image fragments presented by a multiresponse piecewise linear model of segments and corner points, which considers the geometric and color contour. The method can improve the accuracy of identification of fragments and the subsequent reconstruction of a fragmented image.Keywords: identification of image fragments, geometric and color contours, multiresponse piecewise linear model, identification of corner points, comparison of segments.
