The Basics

What is a breast ultrasound?

A breast ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce live images of breast tissue. Its greatest strength is telling a fluid-filled cyst apart from a solid mass, a distinction a mammogram alone often cannot make.

At our Glendale center it is commonly used to evaluate a palpable lump, clarify a mammogram finding, look through dense tissue, and to guide a needle precisely during a biopsy when one is needed.

What We Look For

What a breast ultrasound can evaluate.

Palpable lumps

Implant concerns
Lymph nodes in the armpit
Guidance for biopsy

Every scan is read by board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists, with the report sent to your physician within 24-48 hours.
