Breast health is a critical concern that demands serious attention. At London Private Ultrasound, we are committed to offering top-tier ultrasound technology for accurate breast assessments. Early detection of any abnormalities can be life-saving. It’s worth noting that breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. According to statistics, approximately 685,000 women worldwide died from breast cancer in 2020 alone. Therefore, vigilance in monitoring breast health cannot be overstated.
Breast ultrasounds use high-frequency sound waves to capture detailed images of the breast tissue, aiding in the detection of cysts, tumours, and other abnormalities.
What Our Clinic Offers:
Potential Abnormalities and Findings:
You may need a breast ultrasound if you have any of the following:
A breast ultrasound is performed by a healthcare professional called a sonographer. The sonographer will apply a small amount of gel to your breast and then place a transducer on your skin. The transducer sends out sound waves and receives the echoes that bounce back. These echoes are used to create images of your breast.
The breast ultrasound can be performed in a variety of positions, depending on the area of the breast being imaged. The procedure usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
Avoid using lotions or powders on the chest area on the day of the test. Wear a two-piece outfit for convenience.
You can expect your results within 24 to 48 hours.
Yes, an ultrasound scan is a good option for you if you have breast implants. It is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create images of the breasts.
However, it’s essential to inform the sonographer about the implants beforehand. This ensures they employ techniques optimized for women with breast implants. If you’re concerned about any aspect of your implants or breast health, the breast ultrasound can provide peace of mind. Still, it’s crucial to continue with regular mammograms as part of a comprehensive breast screening routine. Always consult with your healthcare provider about the most appropriate tests for your situation.
