An examination that uses ultrasound to inspect the inside of the breast. Suitable for younger patients as well.
What Breast Ultrasound (Breast Echo) can reveal & when to get it
This is an examination that uses ultrasound waves to inspect the internal structure of the breast. Because it involves no radiation exposure and is well-suited for detecting lumps in younger individuals and those with dense breast tissue, it is used as a complement to mammography.
Main conditions it can detect and evaluate
- Breast cancer
- Breast lumps (masses)
- Cysts
- Fibroadenomas
When to consider this test
This is an optional (non-mandated) screening exam. It is particularly useful for younger individuals with well-developed breast tissue and those with dense breasts, and it is sometimes recommended in combination with mammography.
Screening interval: Optional. Combined screening once a year is common (consult your physician).
Benefits
- ○No radiation exposure
- ○Effective at detecting lumps even in dense breast tissue
- ○Can be performed during pregnancy or while breastfeeding
Points to note when getting tested
- !Less effective than mammography at detecting microcalcifications
- !Results can vary depending on the skill of the examiner
