In this paper, first, how to take good ultrasonic pictures of the breast and make correct diagnosis are discussed. The author stressed the earnest attitude to understand and master the apparatus and correlate ultrasonic pictures with cut surfaces or microscopical figures of the specimen. Secondly, diagnostic criteria preliminarily adopted by the Japan Society of Ultrasonics in Medicine are proposed and are explained practically. The elements of this criteria are shape, border, boundary echoes, internal echoes, posterior echoes, bilateral shadows, changes at surrounding tissues and longitudinal-transverse ratio. Lastly, pictures of the benign and malignant lesions of the breast are shown using typical examples.
