Pediatric breast ultrasound
Pediatric breast ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to assess the structure of breast tissue and detect potential abnormalities such as inflammation, cysts, and tumors. It is a safe and radiation-free method based on the use of ultrasound waves, making it suitable even for the youngest patients.
Ultrasound provides visualisation of the breast tissue and regional lymph nodes, facilitating differentiation between benign and suspicious processes. Some cases may require additional tests or follow-up observations.
Preparation No special preparation is required for girls and adolescents. We recommend scheduling an ultrasound scan during the first 5-9 days of the menstrual cycle, if it has started. This is when breast tissue is less swollen, making it easier to visualize. Upper body clothing needs to be removed.
The child is positioned on a couch, either lying down or sitting, depending on their age and the area being examined. The arm of the examined side is placed behind the head to facilitate access. A diagnostician applies a special gel and uses an ultrasound sensor to thoroughly examine the breast tissue and lymph nodes. The procedure takes 10-20 minutes.
We use advanced high-frequency linear ultrasound machines. This helps us get highly detailed images, showing the smallest tissue changes.
Children can return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure. Breast ultrasound doesn't require recovery and does not cause discomfort. Results are usually available immediately and are sent to the attending physician or pediatrician.
