Automated Breast Ultrasound in Dense Breasts: Authors Reply on Role Beyond Cancer Detection

In response to a commentary, authors argue that automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) for dense-breast screening offers value beyond supplemental cancer detection, including bilateral comparison capability and time-efficient batch interpretation, though the primary evidence remains…

• This is an authors' reply to a commentary, reiterating advantages of ABUS such as coronal plane reconstruction, bilateral comparison, and batch reading efficiency; no new patient data or quantitative results were presented.
• The original study's primary endpoint was additional cancer detection; this response argues for broader workflow and interpretive advantages but does not provide new statistical comparisons.
• Perspective piece; no new numerical data or prospective validation was reported in this response.
