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.
