What is a Breast Ultrasound?

A breast ultrasound is an advanced imaging tool that provides a more detailed look at breast tissue using sound waves, completely radiation-free.

  • How does it work? This painless, non-invasive, radiation-free procedure uses sound waves to produce images of breast tissue. An ultrasound is often used as a supplemental breast cancer screening tool, following a mammogram, to get additional information necessary for a complete diagnosis. It captures real-time images of breast tissue, helping identify abnormalities that may not be visible on a mammogram.
  • Who benefits most? 40% of women with dense breast tissue or those needing further evaluation after a mammogram can gain clearer insights from an ultrasound.
