Analysis of Mammography BI-RADS Distribution and Follow-up Ultrasound Assessment: A Single-Center Study
Our findings highlight the crucial role of follow-up US in breast cancer screening. The high rate of initial BI-RADS 0 classifications using mammography, coupled with the significant non-completion rate for follow-up US examinations, particularly among older age groups, highlights potential gaps in the current screening process.
