Breast ultrasound is a powerful, non-invasive imaging tool that helps detect a wide range of conditions, including:
✅ Breast Cysts
Fluid-filled sacxs that are usually benign and commonly found in women of reproductive age.
✅ Fibroadenomas
Solid, non-cancerous breast lumps often found in younger women. Ultrasound helps in differentiating them from malignant tumors.
✅ Breast Abscesses or Infections (Mastitis)
Common in breastfeeding women, ultrasound helps identify localized infections or pus-filled areas for timely treatment.
✅ Breast Cancer (Malignant Tumors)
USG can detect solid, irregular masses and provide valuable insight into tumor size, shape, and vascularity — especially in women with dense breast tissue.
✅ Fat Necrosis
Lumps caused by trauma or injury to the breast tissue can mimic cancer but are usually benign.
✅ Ductal Ectasia and Intraductal Masses
Enlarged ducts or masses within the milk ducts, which may cause nipple discharge or discomfort, are well visualized on ultrasound.
