Sonomammography

A Safe, Painless Way to Examine Breast Health

Sonomammography is a type of ultrasound scan used to examine the breast tissue. It uses sound waves to create real-time images of the breast, helping doctors detect lumps, cysts, or any abnormal changes. It is completely safe, non-invasive, and radiation-free.

Why is Sonomammography Done?

Sonomammography is often recommended when:

• A lump or thickening is felt in the breast

• You experience breast pain or nipple discharge

• You have dense breast tissue (where mammograms might not give clear results)

• You are under the age of 40 and need a breast evaluation

• To follow up on abnormal mammogram results

• To guide procedures like needle biopsy

This test is especially useful for evaluating fluid-filled cysts and distinguishing them from solid masses.

How is the Test Done?

The procedure takes about 15 to 30 minutes. You’ll lie down comfortably while a gel is applied to the breast. A handheld device (called a transducer) is gently moved over the skin to capture images. The scan is painless, does not involve any needles, and there’s no exposure to radiation.

Benefits of Sonomammography

• Safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding

• Helpful for women with dense breast tissue

• Detects both benign and suspicious lumps

• Assists in early detection of breast cancer

Your Breast Health Matters

Early detection saves lives. Sonomammography is a valuable tool in the early diagnosis of breast diseases and gives your doctor the information needed to provide the best care. If you notice any changes in your breasts, don’t wait—get it checked with this simple and safe scan.
