Breast Ultrasound

A breast ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the internal structures of the breast. It is often used as a supplemental imaging tool alongside mammography to evaluate breast abnormalities detected during a physical exam or mammogram. Breast ultrasound can help in distinguishing between fluid-filled cysts and solid masses, detecting breast tumors, evaluating breast lumps, and guiding breast biopsy procedures. This procedure is painless, does not involve radiation exposure, and is typically used for further assessment in women with dense breast tissue or those at high risk of breast cancer.
