Importance
Breast ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of breast tissue.
Commonly used alongside mammography, it helps assess lumps, differentiate between solid masses and fluid-filled cysts, and guide procedures such as needle biopsies. This method is particularly useful for women with dense breast tissue, where mammograms may be less effective. As it does not involve radiation, breast ultrasound is well-suited for younger patients and those requiring regular imaging.
The procedure is quick, comfortable, and performed in real time, offering immediate insights into breast health.
Regular Checks
Self-examination should be performed on a monthly basis by women over the age of 20; the best time is a week after menstruation.
