Ultrasound of the mammary glands
A diagnostic method that allows you to evaluate the structure of breast tissue and identify pathological changes. Suitable for women of all ages and health conditions.
Ultrasound of the mammary glands allows you to examine in detail the tissue structure of the breast, revealing inflammation, cysts and tumors.
Special preparation for breast ultrasound is not required. It is optimal to undergo a study in the first days after the end of menstruation (5-9 days of the cycle), when the mammary glands are less susceptible to edema.
The procedure is usually performed in a sitting or lying position. The patient places her arm on the examined side behind her head to provide better access to the mammary gland. Gel is applied to the skin. The doctor runs the sensor over the entire surface of the breast, examining the glandular tissue, ducts and adjacent lymph nodes from different angles and in different projections. Images of tissues and vessels are recorded and stored digitally for further analysis.
A high-frequency ultrasound machine is used for ultrasound. Modern sensors have high resolution and allow you to get a detailed image of small structures.
After completion of breast ultrasound, the patient can immediately return to daily life. The results of the study are available immediately after the procedure and are transmitted to the attending physician for analysis.
