Breast Ultrasound

  • Generally, a breast ultrasound also accompanies a diagnostic mammography. Breast ultrasound is sometimes done alone in patients less than 40 years or as an additional modality along with mammogram to characterize lesions better. It is particularly useful to complement mammograms in women with dense breasts.
  • In an ultrasound, sound waves are transmitted to reflect a visual image of the interior of the breast. The process is absolutely painless and does not involve any radiation. The fluid-filled cysts are rapidly and accurately distinguished from the solid ones. The size, shape, location and the extent of the abnormality are clearly documented. Ultrasound examination is used to gain valuable details about the nature of the lesion, extent and guide biopsy/ intervention when it becomes necessary.

Ultrasound Guided Biopsy

  • Ultrasound guided core needle biopsy is performed under local anaesthesia. A small piece of tissue is removed and sent for testing to the lab and results will be available in a few days.
  • There is no hazard of spread of disease or cancer when a biopsy is done and this is step is essential in planning further treatment and management.
