A sonographic method is described that provides additional information concerning ultrasonic tissue properties. It allows simplified interpretation and eventually might permit automatization. In this technique a totally reflecting plate is used as an indicator for presence of breast lesions because such lesions cause changes of reflectivity, attenuation, and velocity when exposed to ultrasound beams. Twenty‐seven benign lesions and 33 malignancies were examined with this method.
