Diagnostic Study of Choice

Study of choice

Mammography is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of breast lumps in women aged>40 years old^[1]

If the patient had positiove history of bilateral mammography,therefore; only ipsilateral mammography is needed

Ultrasound is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of breast lumps in women aged<40 years old.

The comparison of various diagnostic studies for breast lumps

	Sensitivity	Specificity
Ultrasound	82%	84%
Mammography	49%	89%

[Name of test with higher sensitivity and specificity] is the preferred investigation based on the sensitivity and specificity
