A breast ultrasound uses sound waves to create detailed images of the breast tissue beneath the skin. It can visualize cysts, lumps, dense tissue patterns, structural changes, and areas that may need further evaluation by a radiologist.

You’ll lie comfortably on an exam table while a certified technologist applies a warm gel to the area being scanned. A small handheld device (called a transducer) glides over the breast to capture images. The process is gentle, non-invasive, and requires no compression!
