Breast Ultrasounds

About Breast Ultrasounds:

​

Ultrasounds can explore breasts using sound waves. This method does not expose patients to radiation, unlike a regular Mammogram. 

​

Breast Ultrasounds can be used to examine abnormalities found on Mammograms. It can also help tell if the abnormality is solid or not, helping identify if the abnormality is cancerous. 

​

Ultrasounds can also inform physicians if blood supply is healthy.

​

This real-time imaging is more comfortable for patients and causes less discomfort than a traditional Mammogram. 

​

This method can also help identify soft tissue better than a Mammogram. 

​

​

What to expect at your appointment:

​

A Breast Ultrasound usually takes about 30 minutes to complete, and no preparation is needed ahead of time. 

​

After applying a jelly-like substance, the technician will explore the concerning area with a wand-like mechanism.

​

You may be asked to change positions during the exam to ensure the technician can get all the proper images. 

​

For the best experience, wear comfortable clothing with wiggle room, and be prepared to undress from the waist up, and to wear a gown during the procedure.
