The goals of the exhibits are: 1. To present and discuss the common errors encountered in breast US 2. Provide tips to limit the errors

Four scenarios that seem relevant in daily practice will be exposed: 1. Misinterpretation of “benign” appearing lesions (cancers displaying benign features: oval shape, circumscribed margins, hyperechoic echotexture) 2. Inadequate correlations between US / mammogram and US / physical exam 3. Value of a negative breast US 4. Underuse of available US settings particularly in interventional procedures 5. Misleading elastography (technique and results) US is an essential tool for breast imagers. However, challenging situations can lead to misdiagnoses. Through various examples, practical tips and evidence-based algorithms will be proposed in this exhibit for better management of such situations in daily practise.
