Breast Ultrasound
Accurate & Compassionate Breast Imaging
At the Spencer Hospital Women’s Center, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate care for women’s health. Our Breast Ultrasound services offer a safe, non-invasive imaging method to evaluate breast tissue and assist in detecting abnormalities.
What is a Breast Ultrasound?
A breast ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the breast. It is often used as a supplemental test to a mammogram to further evaluate lumps, cysts, or other breast concerns.
Why Might You Need a Breast Ultrasound?
Your healthcare provider may recommend a breast ultrasound for:
- Further evaluation of an abnormal mammogram
- Differentiating between solid masses and fluid-filled cysts
- Guiding a needle biopsy for precise tissue sampling
- Breast screening for those with dense breast tissue
What to Expect During the Exam
- The procedure is painless and radiation-free.
- A trained ultrasound technologist will apply a warm gel and use a handheld transducer to scan the breast.
- The exam typically takes 15-30 minutes, and results will be reviewed by a radiologist.
