Breast ultrasounds are a commonly requested first-line imaging tool used by doctors to assist in the evaluation of breast symptoms and abnormalities.
Because ultrasounds are performed in real time, they also enable image-guided procedures such as targeted biopsies and needle localisation for further analysis. This non-invasive and radiation-free modality is especially effective for assessing dense breast tissue, characterising lumps, and guiding interventional procedures with precision and comfort.
