  "summary": "A new study in the Journal of the American College of Radiology has found that automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) and handheld ultrasound (HHUS) had similar cancer detection rates in women with dense breasts, while ABUS had a lower false-positive rate. The study demonstrates that ABUS is a viable alternative to HHUS and can expand supplemental ultrasound screening capacity at radiology clinics.",
