Springer is a part of Springer Science+Business Media springeronline.com © Springer-Verlag Tokyo 2005 Printed in Japan Typesetting: SNP Best-set Typesetter Ltd., Hong Kong Printing and binding: Shinano, Inc., Japan Printed on acid-free paper Preface Ultrasonic examination of the breast has been a valuable diagnostic tool for more than half a century since J.J. Wild, T. Wagai, and others first used it in 1950. The first Inter- national Congress on the Ultrasonic Examination of the Breast (ICUEB) was convened in Philadelphia in 1979 by Goldberg (United States), Wells (United Kingdom), Wagai (Japan), Kobayashi (Japan), and Kossoff (Australia). Further congresses in the series have taken place every other year to discuss related theoretical and clinical discover- ies. These meetings led to the founding of the International Association for Breast Ultrasound (IABU) in 1991, and have contributed to improving ultrasonic examina- tion techniques and the associated medical benefits. The 13th ICUEB was held in Kyoto, Japan, in April 2003. International events at that time—the military operations in Iraq and the SARS outbreaks in several countries— threatened attendance; however, only one oral presentation and one poster presenta- tion had to be canceled, and an impressive 98% of our schedule proceeded as planned. Over the three days of the congress, participants made significant contributions through presentations and discussions, and we moved closer to a global mutual understanding. From the many oral presentations and posters we selected the best for publication in this volume, entitled Research and Development in Breast Ultrasound. The book covers a variety of engaging topics, including discovery of the piezoelectric phenom- enon, DCIS diagnosis, interventional ultrasound, screening by ultrasound, and diag- nostic criteria. It also includes an original paper by Dr. Kujiraoka,“Incident Angle of the Plunging Artery of Breast Tumors,”which won first prize at the poster session. We are sure the next ICUEB will build on these strong foundations. Finally, special heartfelt thanks go to Professor Ki Keun Oh from Korea, Dr. Yi-Hong Chou from Taiwan, and Dr. Jack Jellins from IBAS.
