Ultrasounds and mammograms are diagnostic tests used for the early detection of breast cancer. An ultrasound uses sound waves; a mammogram uses x-rays.
Ultrasounds can be more detailed and specific than mammograms, as they can reach areas of breast tissue that mammograms cant. They are carried out using a small handheld probe, called a transducer, that releases soundwaves into the breast tissue and produces an image of any abnormalities.
The procedure is painless and noninvasive. It may be recommended by your doctor if you have abnormal results, to check a breast lump, and to evaluate the need for a biopsy. Mammograms are typically used later in life when the breast tissue is less dense.
It is an x-ray test that is used to detect breast cancer. The breast is pressed between two x-ray plates which flatten the tissue. This can cause some discomfort. If your mammogram shows any abnormal areas of breast tissue, you may be asked to come back for further testing.
