Breast Ultrasound

Definition

Breast ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the breast tissue. It is commonly used to evaluate breast lumps, abnormalities detected during a mammogram, or other breast-related concerns. Breast ultrasound can help determine the nature of a lump, whether it is solid or fluid-filled, and guide further diagnostic or treatment procedures.
