Breast Ultrasound

EWBC radiologist Dr. Stamatia Destounis explains the steps taken when a woman has a problem in her breast - whether it is found on a screening mammogram, or if a woman comes to us because of a concern that she or her doctor has noticed.
Breast ultrasound is done using a handheld unit called a transducer that is gently passed back and forth over the breast with slight pressure, while a computer turns the sound waves into an image of the tissues inside the breast. This resulting image is called a sonogram or ultrasound scan
