The contribution of mammography for cancer detection in women with focal breast complaints is very low when targeted ultrasound is performed. Additional findings are most common in patients with symptomatic breast cancer. Our results suggest that initial targeted ultrasound is a more appropriate initial tool for the evaluation of focal breast complaints. Mammography could be performed on indication only.
