Breast ultrasound is a painless examination that uses high-frequency sound waves to obtain images of the inside of the breast. New, high-resolution technology makes it possible to produce breast images that are much clearer and show an impressive extent of fine detail. The images are displayed on a video monitor that both you and the imager view together. At The Center of Imaging Excellence, we use breast ultrasound as a diagnostic tool.
Ultrasound is used : -when an abnormality is found on physical breast examination, mammography or MRI -to distinguish between benign findings and other findings including cancer. |
