Ultrasound Both Breast Test

An ultrasound of the breast is a painless procedure that uses sound waves to create images of the inside of your breast. Sound waves bounce off surfaces in your body, and the "echoes" are captured on video or photographed.

If a specialist detects a breast tumour, breast oedema, or unusual discharge from the nipple symptoms, this scan is recommended.

It may also be used as a guide for placing a biopsy needle in the event of an abnormal mammogram.

You could have a breast ultrasound:

 

1. If your breast tissue is too dense to be imaged with a mammogram,
2. If you're expecting,
3. If you are under the age of 25, you should take a closer look at a suspicious area on a mammogram.
4. To determine whether or not breast implants have ruptured (ruptured)
5. How to tell if a lump in your breast is a cyst (a fluid-filled sac) or a solid mass that could be cancer.
6. To determine the location of a tumour. This directs the doctor to the precise location where a needle should be inserted during a biopsy.

Your doctor will go over the procedure with you and answer any questions you may have. You may be asked to sign a form indicating your agreement to the ultrasound.

Before the test, you can eat and drink as usual. However, do not apply any lotions or powders to your breasts.

Wear clothing that you can easily remove. During the procedure, you will undress from the waist up and wear a gown.

The exact test will depend on your circumstances, but in general:

 

You'll be seated on a padded examination table.

A small amount of water-soluble gel will be applied to the skin over the area to be examined by the technician. The gel is safe for your skin and will not stain your clothes.

They will gently move a probe shaped like a small paddle over the skin.

They may ask you to hold your breath for a few seconds several times.

The test lasts between 10 and 20 minutes.

The gel is then wiped away by the technician. You can get dressed and resume your normal routine.
