6 There is one difference between breast sonography and mammography algorithms mammography obtaining good images easy interpretation of images difficult - operator dependence - sonography obtaining good images difficult interpretation of images easy mammographic-sonographic correlation -- scan planes -- transverse plane during ultrasound accurately reproduces transverse plane on CC mammograms mammographic-sonographic correlation -- scan planes -- oblique planes during ultrasound less predictably reproduce oblique planes on MLO mammograms US-mammographic correlation -- location lateral lesions appear to be located more superiorly than they really are on MLO mammograms... and... the farther peripherally they lie, the higher they project on MLO view US-mammographic correlation -- location How I remember this! Medial lesions appear to be located more inferiorly than they really are on MLO mammograms... and... the farther peripherally they lie, the lower they project on MLO view
