The association of mammographic parenchymal patterns of the breast with breast cancer risk has been studied extensively but there is little information about the distribution of different patterns in populations at different risks for breast cancer. Such information could be obtained if a risk-free method of breast examination were available that could be applied to the general population. We have evaluated real time ultrasound for this application by comparing the parenchymal pattern as assessed by mammography with the extent of echogenicity in the breast on ultrasound examination in 102 subjects. Subjects were examined by both methods, the mammographic and ultrasound images independently classified, and the proportion of the breast occupied by radiological density or ductal prominence compared with the extent of echogenic areas on ultrasound. These two methods of classifying mammographic parenchymal patterns were found to be strongly correlated. Real time ultrasound may therefore be useful in the epidemiological study of mammographic pattern and breast cancer risk.
