摘要: Apparatus and related methods for facilitating volumetric ultrasonic scanning of a breast are described. In one preferred embodiment, generally cone-shaped radial template having vertex wide opening angle is provided, the slot-like extending outward from through which an ultrasound transducer scans as rotated. another flexible membrane compressing skin surface being mounted on mechanical assembly such roller to form directly contacts surface, rising falling relative but not moving laterally move across compressed breast, whereby stabilization direct transducer-skin contact concurrently achieved.
