a full picture of breast health
A breast ultrasound shows a different view of the breast than a mammogram. The ultrasound looks inside the breast via sound waves and their echoes to make computer pictures of the inside of the breast. It is best to be used alongside a mammogram in order to see the full picture of the breast's health.
Just like a mammogram, we conduct screening and diagnostic breast ultrasounds:
Screening Breast Ultrasound
Screening Breast Ultrasounds are capable of detecting cancers that cannot be identified by mammography and physical exams alone. Sometimes mammograms and physical exams are just not enough, particularly in women with dense breasts.
Diagnostic Breast Ultrasound
A Diagnostic Breast Ultrasound is a more focused study for patients who have had an abnormal mammogram, experience breast pain, or lump. This study is combined with a Diagnostic Mammogram.
