A novel application of the Automated Breast Volume Scanner (ABVS) in the diagnosis of soft tissue tumors

Compared with conventional two-dimensional imaging, automatic 3D reconstruction and high-resolution images from three vertical planes can be displayed by the ABVS, and the global anatomy and surrounding tissue of the lesions can be clearly presented. Thus, ABVS imaging may help to differentiate between benign and malignant soft tissue tumors.
