Breast ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of breast tissue. A handheld device called a transducer moves gently across the breast, sending sound waves into the tissue and capturing the returning echoes to form detailed images—all without using ionizing radiation. Breast ultrasound can help healthcare professionals take a closer look at a lump, cyst, or other area of concern and may help distinguish fluid-filled areas from solid tissue. In this blog, discover how breast ultrasound works, what it can show, what to expect during the examination, and how it differs from a mammogram.
