your doctor with information regarding the health of your breasts.
Ultrasound can aid your physician in locating breast tumors and cysts as
small as a few millimeters in size. Breast Sonograms are commonly ordered
after a mammogram has shown an inconclusive or questionable diagnosis.
Ultrasound is also used for women younger than age 35 to evaluate palpable
masses or areas of tenderness, when a mammogram is not recommended. Your
images will be recorded on film and interpreted by a Radiologist, a doctor
who specializes in ultrasound and a report promptly sent to your doctor.
Breast Sonograms are painless, safe and takes approximately 30 minutes.
