Breast Ultrasound

What is a breast ultrasound?

A breast ultrasound is an imaging test that uses sound waves to evaluate breast tissue and detect different abnormalities. It can help characterize cysts, nodules, and other lesions, and in some cases it is used as a complement to mammography.

When may a breast ultrasound be needed?

It may be recommended to evaluate a breast lump or nodule, localized breast pain, changes in breast tissue, or findings detected through other imaging tests. It may also be used in younger women or when additional evaluation of a finding seen on a mammogram is needed.

Which specialist performs a breast ultrasound?

A breast ultrasound may be performed and interpreted by an imaging specialist with experience in breast imaging. Depending on the findings, evaluation by a gynecologist, breast specialist, or breast surgeon may also be recommended.
