Breast Ultrasound
Private Breast Ultrasound in London
A breast ultrasound creates detailed images of breast tissue and may be used to investigate a lump, localised discomfort or changes within the breast.
DIAGNOSTIC OVERVIEW
What Is a Breast Ultrasound?
A breast ultrasound uses sound waves to examine breast tissue without ionising radiation. It may support the assessment of a specific area of concern identified through symptoms, clinical examination or another imaging test.
Depending on your circumstances, additional assessment or imaging may also be recommended.
CLINICAL INDICATORS
When Might It Be Recommended?
A breast ultrasound may be used to investigate:
- A lump or area of thickened breast tissue
- Localised breast pain
- Changes identified during a clinical examination
- Changes in the appearance or feel of the breast
- An area requiring further assessment after another test
CARE PATHWAY
What to Expect
Ultrasound gel is applied to the breast, and a handheld probe is moved gently across the area being examined. The scan produces images that can support further clinical evaluation.
You may be given preparation instructions, such as fasting before your appointment, depending on the area being examined.
