Role of Sonography in Evaluation of Radial Scars of the Breast

¹ Both authors: Memorial Sloan-Kettering Guttman Diagnostic Center, 12th Fl., 55 Fifth Ave., New York, NY 10003.

OBJECTIVE. We investigated the usefulness of sonography in revealing radial scars suspected on mammography.

CONCLUSION. Many radial scars are visible on sonography and, when visible, may present features virtually identical to those of carcinoma of the breast. Findings indicative of a radial scar are often more conspicuous on sonography than on mammography; thus, sonography may have a definitive role when evaluating subtle findings suggestive of a radial scar or when features of a radial scar are evident on only one mammographic view and cannot be localized with certainty.
