Sono Mammography

Sono Mammography, also known as breast ultrasound or breast sonography, is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the breast tissue. Unlike mammography, which uses X-rays, breast ultrasound is a radiation-free imaging modality.

Sono Mammography is often used as a complementary imaging technique to mammography for evaluating breast lumps or other abnormalities that have been detected by physical examination or mammography. It can help to determine whether a lump is solid or fluid-filled, which can be an important factor in determining whether further diagnostic tests or treatment are necessary.

Breast ultrasound can also be used for screening in women who have dense breast tissue or who may be at high risk for breast cancer. However, it is important to note that breast ultrasound is not a substitute for mammography, and the two imaging modalities are often used in conjunction with each other to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the breast tissue.

During a breast ultrasound exam, a transducer is placed on the breast and moved around to capture images from different angles. The images are then analyzed by a radiologist or other medical professional to identify any abnormalities or areas of concern.
