Breast Ultrasound

Breast ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique using sound waves to create pictures of the breast tissue. It's commonly used alongside mammograms to investigate abnormalities or assess lumps. Unlike mammograms, which use X-rays, ultrasound is safe and doesn't involve radiation. The procedure typically involves placing a gel on the breast and using a small device called a transducer to capture images. These images help radiologists identify cysts, solid masses, or other conditions, guiding further diagnosis or treatment. It's a valuable tool in breast health care, providing detailed information about breast tissue structure.
