A radiation-free, painless ultrasound that evaluates breast lumps, characterizes masses, and provides clarity when mammograms show areas of concern. Performed by ARDMS-certified sonographers and interpreted by board-certified radiologists.
A breast ultrasound is a safe, comfortable, and highly informative imaging tool — often used to characterize lumps you or your physician have felt, or to investigate areas of concern identified on a mammogram. It's particularly valuable for evaluating dense breast tissue.
Glandular, fatty, and dense tissue evaluation
Solid vs. fluid-filled characterization
Simple, complex, and complicated cysts
Ductal abnormalities and dilation
Doppler assessment of suspicious areas
Underarm lymph node evaluation
A breast ultrasound can help identify or rule out:
Whether referred by your physician or scheduling on your own, these are the situations that most often lead to this exam.
A lump you or your physician can feel that needs characterization.
Investigation of an area flagged as suspicious on a mammogram.
Supplemental screening for patients with mammographically dense breasts.
Unexplained discharge requiring ductal evaluation.
Persistent pain in a specific area of the breast.
Preferred imaging method when X-ray-based mammography should be avoided.
