Breast Ultrasound
A order from your provider is requested for this exam. An ultrasound of a palpable mass that you or your provider feel should be performed. Your armpit may be evaluated as well.
Using ultrasound instead of a mammogram as a screening tool is not recommended by the American Cancer Society or the American College of Radiology.
A mammogram is a more sensitive screening tool than ultrasound.
Durango Ultrasound is happy to scan specific breast lumps.
To Prepare:
No preparation is necessary. You will be asked to undress from the waist up. We will provide a robe for you to put on. You will be asked to uncover the affected breast.
If you have had a previous mammogram or ultrasound, we request those images be sent to our office prior to or brought with you the day of your scan.
