Clinical Images

This is an ultrasound image of a female breast with normal dense breast tissue. The top image displays the breast in an axial plane and the lower image displays the breast in the coronal plane.

Breast tissue is composed of milk glands, milk ducts and supportive tissue (dense breast tissue), and fatty tissue (nondense breast tissue). When viewed on a mammogram, women with dense breasts have more dense tissue than fatty tissue.

On a mammogram, non-dense breast tissue appears dark and transparent. Dense breast tissue appears as a solid white area on a mammogram, which makes it difficult to see through.

Some of the features visible in the image are: skin, subcutaneous fat, cooper's ligaments, pectorals muscle, rib.

The SOFIA 3D Automated Breast ultrasound (ABUS) exam is capable of penetrating through Extremely Dense Breast Tissue (BI-RADS D) and Heterogeneously Dense Breast Tissue (BI-RADS C) enabling visualization to the pectorals muscle.

Normal Dense Breast

This is an ultrasound image of a female breast with a normal breast implant . The top image displays the breast in an axial plane and the lower image displays the breast in the coronal plane.

The implant has been placed under the breast tissue. The margin surrounding the implant is consistent and does not exhibit properties associated with a rupture of the implant.

SOFIA's prone position enable the breast to be effectively imaged without artificial painful compression of the breast. Thereby; reducing the risk associated with rupturing the implant during compression.

Some of the features visible in the image are: skin, subcutaneous fat, cooper's ligaments, pectorals, breast implant placement

Normal Breast Implant

This is an ultrasound image of a female breast with a simple cyst. The top image displays the breast in an axial plane and the lower image displays the breast in the coronal plane.

In both the axial and coronal image display a circumscribed (well-defined) oval anechoic (black) mass with posterior enhancement as result of the fluid.

Multi planar reconstruction (MPR) enables the structure to viewed in various planes to confirm the margin is non-irregular an the structure is at approximately 10 o'clock.

Simple Cyst

This is an ultrasound image of a female breast with multiple cysts varying in sizes. The top image displays the breast in an axial plane and the lower image displays the breast in the coronal plane.

The cystic structures are visible in both the axial and coronal planes and exhibit posterior enhancement as a result of the contained fluid. The multiple cysts displayed in the axial plane are between 1 o'clock and 7 o'clock

Multiple Cysts

This is an ultrasound image of a female breast with a complex cysts. The top image displays the breast in an axial plane and the lower image displays the breast in the coronal plane.

The cystic structures are visible in the axial planes and exhibit posterior enhancement. In addition the margin of the structure is slightly irregular and exhibits the accumulation of debris.

Complicated Cyst

This is an ultrasound image of a female breast with multiple fibroadenomas varying in sizes. The top image displays the breast in an axial plane and the lower image displays the breast in the coronal plane.

The fibroadenomas are visible in both the axial and coronal planes and their clock postion and there relative position and relationship to each other can be confirmed in the coronal view.

Multiple Fibroadenomas

This is an ultrasound image of a female breast with a solid nodule that contains micro-calcifications.

The top image displays the breast in an axial plane and the lower image displays the breast in the coronal plane.

The accumulation of the echoic areas inside the solid mass are indicative of the accumulation of micro-calcifications and correspond with the mammography findings.

Solid Nodule with Microcalcifications

This is an ultrasound image of a female breast with an irregular solid mass that has been biopsied and confirmed to be cancerous.

The top image displays the breast in an axial plane and the lower image displays the breast in the coronal plane.

The solid masses irregular margin and hypoechoic posterior enhancement are visible in the axial image and the position of the structure is confirmed to be at approximately the 2 o'clock location.
