All right, post test questions. So what

0:03

view should you get if you see a

0:06

lesion on the mlo but not the CC View.

0:09

So hopefully you get this right now.

0:13

It rolls or true lateral Spa compression or xccl.

0:19

Oh, no. Okay. Well, the answer

0:22

here is true lateral because you're going to want to see if

0:25

it falls or Rises on the

0:28

envelope View.

0:30

And so see where it is on in the

0:33

breast.

0:34

Okay, so if you don't understand the concept go back again and listen to

0:37

our part. So what about if you see something on the CC but

0:40

not the ML and we want to know where it is. What are

0:43

you going to get here? Oh, I gave you the answer.

0:46

You should get.

0:51

That right? Okay good.

0:53

All right, and then the last one and I think I mess this question

0:56

up, but if you roll a superior breath medially and

0:59

it rolls medially, you know, it's in the medial breast.

1:03

I'm sorry, you know it's in the upper breast, but I didn't tell

1:06

you enough information, but it's in the upper inner quadrant.

1:10

So, um, you know, just the

1:13

take-home points here are going to be to understand the differences

1:16

between screening and diagnostic test the appropriate

1:19

management screening. You really can only

1:22

give them a buy-red zero one or two. You're not going

1:25

to give a four or five off of screener in typically should not

1:28

give a three either diagnostic. You can give a buyer as

1:31

one through six actually always want to use buy reselectricon ultrasound

1:34

any palpable lesion.

1:37

So thank you for listening. I'll open it up to any

1:40

questions if anyone has at this point.

1:42

I often very often get mail patients for

1:45

ultrasound evaluation with for clinical suspicion in case

1:48

of asymmetry which I understand is ultrasound. No, I think

1:51

that we really need to start with the mammogram. You know,

1:54

I I typically if I get an ultrasound only for

1:57

what they expect to be gynecomastia, I kind

2:00

of use that as a teaching point for the for the Doctor

2:03

Who refer them really if they're over 25,

2:06

they should be getting a mammogram first and then an

2:09

ultrasound like I said ultrasound can be confusing. So I

2:12

really think that it's best to get

2:15

a mammogram first because oftentimes in both sides are affected

2:18

also so they might only feel a lump on the left side, but they

2:21

might have gynecomastia on the right also, it's important to know

2:24

and it's just you know that I think

2:27

that people routinely just, you know, click an ultrasound for

2:30

something palpable, but we really need to the correct way is to do

2:33

a man growing for great questions.

2:36

Okay.
