Compared with the laboratory version, the automated device facilitates acquisition and evaluation of compression breast sonography and is similar in lesion detection and differentiation. It should be tested in a larger number of patients.

Depiction of breast lesions at automated US is reproducible. Automated US is complementary to mammography.

The differentiating criteria from automatic sonography and mammography can, in principle, be used to evaluate the dignity of breast lesions. However, an optimization is necessary since the improvement in specificity does not compensate the loss in sensitivity.
