Abstract
A standard protocol for breast ultrasound examination is presented. This document consists of a process protocol and a descriptive protocol. The process protocol describes the breast ultrasound examination technique. The descriptive protocol contains a detailed presentation of the breast ultrasound examination results, ending with a conclusion. Current domestic and international diagnostic guidelines (BI-RADS® v2025 Manual) defining indications for breast ultrasound examination are discussed. This standard protocol for breast ultrasound examination is fully consistent with current Russian clinical guidelines and does not contradict international diagnostic guidelines.
