99% Survival
When detected early, breast cancer has a 99% five-year survival rate.
“Breast ultrasound is a crucial tool for women with dense breasts. Dense breast tissue can make it more challenging to detect abnormalities with mammograms alone. Ultrasound provides a complementary imaging method that enhances our ability to identify potential issues early, ensuring that women receive the most accurate and comprehensive care possible.”

A mammogram uses X-ray technology, while an ultrasound uses sound waves. Ultrasounds are often used as a follow-up tool for dense breast tissue or areas of concern.
A breast ultrasound is often recommended in addition to a mammogram for more detailed imaging, especially if you have dense breast tissue or an abnormal finding. An ultrasound can provide additional information to help your breast radiologist conclude your diagnosis.
A breast ultrasound typically takes 15-30 minutes, and there’s no downtime afterward.
In most cases, a referral is required if the ultrasound is for diagnostic purposes. If your mammogram results indicate the need for an ultrasound, your provider will guide you through the next steps.
No, the procedure is painless and does not involve compression like a mammogram.
Your radiologist will provide a detailed report, and if further evaluation is needed, SimonMed offers comprehensive follow-up options, including breast MRI and biopsy services.
During a breast ultrasound, you will lie on an exam table while a technician applies a warm gel to your skin. A handheld device called a transducer moves over your breast, using sound waves to create detailed images. The procedure is quick, painless, and radiation-free, with no compression required, and you can resume normal activities immediately after. A radiologist will review the images, and your doctor will discuss the results with you.
