乳腺超音波検査には，正しい検査手技で撮像された説得力のある静止画の記録が必須である．まずはBモードで正しく所見をとらえ，判断に迷った際にはカラードプラやエラストグラフィ等の付加的所見を加味する．診断能を上げるためには，経験を積むだけでなく，病理診断結果をフィードバックすることが必要である．

The examiner has to scan the whole breast, detect lesions, diagnose them, and record images during breast ultrasonic examinations. Therefore, the examiner has to acquire the technical skills of examination, the ability to detect lesions, and the ability to diagnose them. In addition, the examiner has to understand the role of each mode (e.g., B mode, color Doppler, elastography), and perform comprehensive diagnosis. Experience with many examinations and knowing the pathological diagnosis are needed to achieve excellent diagnostic performance.
