Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The main study endpoints are the acquired images (ultrafast and conventional<br /><br>ultrasound, DBT) and their image quality scores. The images will be scored by<br /><br>at least two experienced radiologists in reading volumetric ultrasound and DBT<br /><br>images. The scoring criteria are similar as in [1]. The breast density, lesion<br /><br>type, biopsy results and Breast Imaging RADiology score (BI-RADS) are used to<br /><br>interpret the images and the obtained results.<br /><br><br /><br>[1] B.
