What is the full name of ABUS breast cancer screening? What is the difference between molybdenum target and B-ultrasound?

ABUS automatic breast volume ultrasound system is the standard technical means of early breast screening. Molybdenum target (X-ray photography) is also a common technical means of breast screening. B-ultrasound, also known as manual ultrasound, belongs to the field of ultrasound, and can also be understood as ABUS is an upgraded version of B-ultrasound.

Although abroad, molybdenum target is listed as a routine breast screening method, domestic authorities found that molybdenum target is not suitable for women in China in more than 10000 case studies. Compared with foreigners, women in China are not suitable for this examination as a means of breast cancer screening. There are many adipose tissues in foreigners' mammary glands, while Asian women's mammary glands are dense, with few adipose components, and most of them are glandular tissues. It is difficult to find lesions with molybdenum targets, but molybdenum targets have unparalleled advantages in diagnosing calcification.
