What is a breast ultrasound?

Breast ultrasound is an important imaging examination that allows for accurate assessment of breast tissue and early detection of changes.

With this non-invasive examination, the doctor detects:

Cysts – fluid-filled formations in the breasts

Nodules – solid changes in tissue

Tumors – benign and malignant changes

Inflammations – mastitis and abscesses

Lymph nodes – axillary lymph nodes

Dense tissue – assessment with less reliable mammography
