Breast Ultrasound Scan Description
A Breast ultrasound scan is the primary imaging application for women under the age of 40 years and acts as an adjunct to mammography for women over the age of 40 years. Ultrasound assesses tumours, cysts, abscess formation, inflammation and guides biopsies.
A breast ultrasound scan can show all areas of the breast, including the area closest to the chest wall, which is hard to study with a mammogram. Breast ultrasound does not use X-rays. It is safe, quick and cost-effective.
