What is Breast Ultrasound?

A Breast Ultrasound, also commonly known as ultrasound of the Breast, it is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure in which sound wave technology is used to create a detailed image of the Breast and its surrounding structures to determine the exact cause of problems such as pain, swelling, or lumps in the Breast 

It helps in the detection of cysts/tumors in the Breast. Breast health is an important part of a woman's Health, but most women skip regular exams until they develop symptoms. While mammograms are the most well-known imaging tests for breast health in women over 40, breast ultrasounds serve an important role in detecting and diagnosing breast problems, particularly in younger women or those with thick breast tissue.

Breast Ultrasound is generally recommended by the doctor to determine if there is any issue with the female reproductive organ, the Breast.

How does the Breast Ultrasound work?

A handheld portable transducer is used to produce images during abreast ultrasound. A transducer is a specialized medical tool that produces ultrasonic waves. It also detects waves that bounce off your Breast tissues. It then turns the waves into electrical impulses, which a computer uses to create images or videos that are displayed on a screen.

A healthcare provider will apply a thin layer of gel to your Breast and any other regions they need to examine. The gel facilitates sound wave transmission and prevents air pockets from accumulating between your skin and the transducer. Air pockets can block ultrasound waves from entering your body.
