Ultrasound examination – Breast ultrasound in London.

What is a breast ultrasound scan?

A breast ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the breast tissue. A small handheld device called a transducer is used to transmit sound waves into the breast. The sound waves bounce back, and the transducer detects them, creating an image on a computer screen. This technology allows for the visualization of the internal structures of the breast.

A breast ultrasound is commonly used to evaluate further breast lumps or abnormalities found during a physical exam or mammogram. It is also used to guide breast biopsy procedures and to assess breast implants.

What can a breast ultrasound detect?

A breast ultrasound can detect different abnormalities within the breast tissue, including cysts, solid masses, and other irregularities. It is proficient in visualizing dense breast tissue, which may not be adequately evaluated using mammography alone.

Breast ultrasound – a practitioner performs prophylactic breast cancer detection.

The ultrasound examination of the breasts and axillary lymph nodes at the Eskulap Clinic in London is performed by an experienced practitioner. The test can be performed on any day of the menstrual cycle (although it is optimal to perform this test in the 1st phase of the cycle – between the 4th and 10th day of the menstrual cycle), during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The patient should have the previous ultrasound and mammography results with her.

Our clinic is equipped with a modern elastographic module, thanks to which the diagnoses are characterized by greater sensitivity and specificity, increasing the patient’s comfort.

Breast ultrasound – the course of the examination

The practitioner will ask you to lie down on the couch, stripped from the waist up. They will then move the ultrasound head after applying the gel to the breast. We also examine the armpits to see any swollen, pathologically enlarged lymph nodes. This test can detect 2-3 mm size changes and distinguish cancerous tumors from cysts. Breast screening ultrasound is another examination after mammography, and these examinations give a complete picture of the situation together.

    Facts about breast cancer

    • Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Breast cancer claimed 685,000 lives globally in 2020, affecting women of all risk profiles, with approximately half of cases occurring in individuals with no specific risk factors other than sex and age, and demonstrating its presence in every country worldwide.
    • The mainstay of breast cancer prevention is maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol consumption, avoiding smoking, and limiting the use of hormone replacement therapy.
    • Regular breast examinations to detect diseases at an early stage also play a fundamental role. During self-examination of the breast, breast tumors can be seen by palpation. It is also recommended to be examined by a doctor or by imaging tests (mammography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging).

    Breast self-examination

    Women need to get into the habit of examining their breasts as soon as possible. Observe and control your breasts, for example, in front of a mirror or the shower. You can independently and adequately perform a breast self-examination while standing in front of the mirror; raise your arms high to see if you can see the shape of the breast or if the skin is discolored, wrinkled, or tight. Check that there is no fluid leaking from the nipple.

    While bathing, place your left hand on the back of your head and your right hand on your left breast. Gently press your three middle fingers to form a small circle along the breast, then press from top to bottom. Repeat the same steps for the right breast. Remember, not every lump you find is cancer, but you should show every lump to an expert. If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to see a doctor.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Following a breast ultrasound, patients can immediately resume their regular activities. There are no restrictions; individuals can complete their daily routines without downtime.

    Ultrasound complements mammography by providing additional information about breast abnormalities. While mammography is valuable for detecting microcalcifications and certain types of breast masses, ultrasound is effective in visualizing breast lumps, especially in women with dense breast tissue.
