Abstract Purpose of Review Automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) is a three-dimensional imaging technique, used as a supplemental screening tool in women with dense breasts. This review considers the technical aspects, pitfalls, and the use of ABUS in screening and clinical practice, together with new developments and future perspectives. Recent Findings ABUS has been approved in the USA and Europe as a screening tool for asymptomatic women with dense breasts in addition to mammography. Supplemental US screening has high sensitivity for cancer detection, especially early-stage invasive cancers, and reduces the frequency of interval cancers. ABUS has similar diagnostic performance to handheld ultrasound (HHUS) and is designed to overcome the drawbacks of operator dependence and poor reproducibility. Concerns with ABUS, like HHUS, include relatively high recall rates and lengthy reading time when compared to mammography. ABUS is a new technique with unique features; therefore, adequate training is required to improve detection and reduce false positives. Computer-aided detection may reduce reading times and improve cancer detection. Other potential applications of ABUS include local staging, treatment response evaluation, breast density assessment, and integration of radiomics. Summary ABUS provides an efficient, reproducible, and comprehensive supplemental imaging technique in breast screening. Developments with computer-aided detection may improve the sensitivity and specificity as well as radiologist confidence and reduce reading times, making this modality acceptable in large volume screening centers.

The Impact

Objectives— To examine the impact of the definition of interval breast cancers on interval cancer rates arising from the prevalent (first) screening round. Design— Interval breast cancers arising from the prevalent (first) screening round at the Warwickshire, Solihull and Coventry Breast Screening Unit (17 April 1989 to 31 March 1992) were identified by comparison of data held at the unit with records at the West Midlands Cancer Intelligence Unit. Exclusion criteria used in National statistics were applied to this sample to quantify their impact on achieved interval cancer rates. The round lengths experienced by individual women at the unit were determined from the prevalent and incident invitation dates for 155 women with incident (re-screen) breast cancers detected in the second round. Setting— Warwickshire, Solihull and Coventry Breast Screening Unit. Subects—59 017 women screened between 17 April 1989 and 31 March 1992 with a negative screening result and 155 women with incident screen detected cancers. Results— A total of 278 interval cancers were identified, giving an overall rate from the prevalent screening round of 47.1/10 000 women screened. Of these, 213 met the criteria used in the definition of interval cancers for National statistics and were termed “core” interval cancers. The overall “core” interval rate was 36.1/10 000 women screened, similar to interval cancer rates found in the north west of United Kingdom. Thus applying commonly used exclusion criteria produced a 23.4% reduction in the apparent interval cancer rate, with the largest decrease resulting from the exclusion of cancers arising at 36 months or more from the last screen. Conclusions— The exclusion criteria used in the definition of interval cancers have a significant impact on observed interval cancer rates. Of particular concern is the exclusion in the current National definitions of cancers arising at 36 months or more from the last screen, which may mask a problem with significant implications for the success of the NHSBSP.
