Breast ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the breast tissue. It does not involve radiation and can be repeated as needed without harm. During the procedure, a gel is applied to the skin of the breast, and the ultrasound probe is moved over the breast to scan the tissue.
Breast ultrasound can be used alone or in combination with mammography, depending on the clinical scenario.
