Breast Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging of the breasts is an imaging technique that utilises sound waves to visualise the breasts' internal structures, blood vessels, tissues, and muscles. It is used to detect breast lumps and monitor breast blood flow.

Why is it done? 

This scan is recommended if a physician detects breast tumour, breast edema, or unusual discharge from the nipple symptoms.

It may also be recommended in the event of an abnormal mammogram or as a guide for placing a biopsy needle.

Mammography, an X-ray used to screen for breast cancer, is sometimes followed by a breast ultrasound.

A clinician may order a breast ultrasound if a physical exam or mammogram reveals a breast anomaly, such as:

• A breast lump
• A sensitive breast
• a change in your nipple or breast skin texture
• strange nipple discharge

An ultrasound can tell your doctor if a lump in your breast is a fluid-filled cyst or a solid tumor. It also helps them locate and size up the clot.
