Zhang X, Chen J, Zhou Y, et al. - Via conducting a meta-analysis, researchers compared the diagnostic performances of the automated breast volume scanner (ABVS) and hand-held ultrasound (HHUS) for breast cancer. Inclusion of nine studies involving 1,376 patients and 1,527 lesions was done in the meta-analysis for diagnostic accuracy. Outcomes suggest no significant difference between the diagnostic accuracy of ABVS and HHUS. Considering other benefits of ABVS comprising non-radioactivity, sensitivity to dense breast, three-dimensional reconstruction, time-saving and repeatability, it seems to be a promising screening tool for young or dense-breast women in the future.
