What is the role of ultrasound in the detection of breast cancer?

0

When an abnormality is found on a mammogram or by physical examination, ultrasound is commonly performed for further diagnosis. Ultrasound uses sound waves to provide pictures of suspicious areas in the breast and is particularly helpful in distinguishing fluid filled lumps from solid lumps. Ultrasound itself is not considered a screening examination for breast cancer, but when used in conjunction with mammography, it may provide crucial diagnostic information for the radiologist.
