Breast ultrasound examination

Breast color ultrasound is a method used exclusively in hospitals to examine the breast. Breast color ultrasound can more clearly detect breast problems and provide targeted treatment based on symptoms. This not only avoids delays in treatment of serious illnesses, but also makes treatment more effective. However, there are many things to pay attention to before doing a breast color ultrasound. In order to avoid interfering with the examination results, patients should understand this in advance. The following introduces breast color ultrasound examination.

Breast color ultrasound examination can observe whether there are lumps in the breast gland and the shape of the lumps. It can also observe the condition of the supraclavicular and axillary lymph nodes, as well as the sound and image of calcification in the lumps.

Breast color ultrasound is very helpful in diagnosing breast diseases. It plays an important role in diagnosing breast hyperplasia and assisting in distinguishing benign and malignant breast tumors.

Because breast tissue is located superficially and there are few interfering factors, ultrasound examination is very effective. Breast ultrasound examination plays a good role in the diagnosis of breast diseases. It is simple, safe, non-invasive and can be repeated.

Clinically, ultrasound examination is mainly used to examine diseases such as breast lobular hyperplasia, inflammation, cysts, fibroma and breast cancer. It is especially used to differentiate between benign and malignant breast lumps, detect early breast cancer, and examine whether there are enlarged lymph nodes in the axilla and clavicle. It can provide a reliable basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

With the increasing improvement of ultrasound imaging technology, especially the emergence of color Doppler ultrasound technology, the internal structure, size, shape, edge, number of internal blood vessels, blood flow distribution, and relationship with surrounding tissues of breast tumors can be clearly displayed. Doctors can make a preliminary judgment on the nature of the tumor based on the test data. In short, anyone who finds a breast lump can have a color ultrasound examination to initially determine the nature of the lump.

Check Memo

1. On the day of the examination, it is advisable to wear a "cardigan" to facilitate the examination.

2. During the examination, the patient lies on the examination bed with the breasts fully exposed.

3. The doctor first observes whether there are any changes in the appearance of the patient's breasts and nipples, and performs breast palpation to understand the size and location of the lump. Subsequently, a zone scan is performed with the nipple as the center of gravity to observe and record the shape, texture, boundary, presence of capsule, and presence of calcification foci inside the mass. Finally, color Doppler is used to detect the blood flow inside and around the mass.
