breast ultrasound
Chest tissue imaging
Breast ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses sound waves to produce pictures of breast tissue.
Unlike mammography, it involves no radiation and excels at distinguishing fluid-filled cysts from solid masses.
It's often used as a follow-up to mammogram findings or as a primary screening tool for women with dense breast tissue: The doctor ordered a breast ultrasound to get a better look at the lump.
