OBJECTIVE: We investigated the usefulness of sonography in revealing radial scars suspected on mammography. CONCLUSION: Many radial scars are visible on sonography and, when visible, may present features virtually identical to those of carcinoma of the breast. Findings indicative of a radial scar are often more conspicuous on sonography than on mammography; thus, sonography may have a definitive role when evaluating subtle findings suggestive of a radial scar or when features of a radial scar are evident on only one mammographic view and cannot be localized with certainty.
