Breast Ultrasound

SMIL offers a breast ultrasound exam to determine the nature of a breast abnormality. The primary use of a breast ultrasound exam today is to help diagnose breast abnormalities detected during a physical exam such as breast lumps, breast pain or nipple discharge. A breast ultrasound exam also characterizes potential abnormalities seen on other breast scans.

Breast ultrasounds help supplement mammography by detecting breast cancers that may not be visible with mammography due to dense tissue in the breasts and other factors. A breast ultrasound exam can be offered as a screening tool for women who are at high risk for breast cancer and for women who are pregnant and cannot be exposed to radiation used in other breast scans.

Learn how to prepare for a breast ultrasound exam in the preparations for a breast ultrasound exam section.

The receptionist was wearing a mask, but two of the ladies in MRI were not. One woman without a mask told me I could not wear my mask in the MRI machine, because my mask had metal in it. She asked if I wanted one that has no metal while in the machine, and I said I could not breathe if I wore one in the machine, so she asked me to put the mask with my clothing. (I was changing into a gown.) But then she put the IV in while I did not have on a mask! I asked about it, and she said that I would be OK, because she was not sick! Other than that, they were all very pleasant and made the process easy.
