About This Test
Breast ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging modality used to evaluate breast tissue, particularly in women with dense breasts, palpable lumps, or abnormal mammographic findings. It provides real-time assessment of breast parenchyma, distinguishing cystic from solid lesions and characterizing masses based on shape, margins, orientation, echogenicity, and posterior acoustic features. Doppler imaging can assess vascularity, which helps in differentiating benign from suspicious lesions. Ultrasound is also valuable for guiding interventions such as fine-needle aspiration, core biopsy, and drainage procedures. It is safe, does not involve radiation, and can be repeated for follow-up evaluations. The examination is performed with the patient supine and the ipsilateral arm raised to optimize visualization. Systematic scanning in multiple planes ensures comprehensive coverage of all quadrants and the axillary region. Breast ultrasound is a vital adjunct to mammography for diagnosis, monitoring, and pre-procedural planning of breast pathology.
