Guidelines & Recommendations
Best Practice Guideline – Empfehlungen der DEGUM zur Durchführung und Beurteilung der Mammasonografie
TEIL II – Additive und fakultative Anwendungsmodalitäten, Qualitätssicherung Article in several languages: deutsch | English
Zusammenfassung
Die Mammasonografie hat sich seit vielen Jahren neben der Mammografie als wichtige Methode zur Abklärung von Brustbefunden etabliert.
Der Arbeitskreis Mammasonografie der DEGUM beabsichtigt mit der „Best Practice Guideline“ den senologisch tätigen Kolleginnen und Kollegen neben dem in Teil I publizierten aktuellen Dignitätskriterien- und Befundungskatalog in dem vorliegenden Teil II die additiven und fakultativen Anwendungsmodalitäten zur Abklärung von Brustbefunden zu beschreiben und dazu DEGUM-Empfehlungen zu äußern, um die Differenzialdiagnose von unklaren Läsionen zu erleichtern.
Die vorliegende „Best Practice Guideline“ hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, den Anforderungen zur Qualitätssicherung und der Gewährleistung einer qualitätskontrollierten Durchführung der Mammasonografie nachzukommen. Die wichtigsten Aspekte der Qualitätssicherung werden in diesem Teil II der Best Practice Guideline erläutert.
