- Quantitative indicators of metastatic tumor in lymph nodes such as size.
- Armpit ultrasound helps reduce the possibility that patients with metastatic lymph node tumors may skip sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) and proceed to complete axillary dissection.
- The role of ultrasound in the classification and grading of breast cancer.
- Assists in identifying and directing skin biopsy from lymph nodes in operable breast cancer.
- It helps in the early referral of patients with locally advanced invasive breast cancer for preoperative chemotherapy.
What is the difference between mammogram and ultrasound?
- Mammography is a specialized medical examination that uses low-dose X-rays to see inside the breast and helps diagnose various breast diseases.
- Breast ultrasound is characterized by the use of high-frequency ultrasound to see breast tissue and diagnose many breast diseases.
No examination is better than the other. Mammography and breast ultrasound are important in diagnosing many breast diseases.
The doctor may ask the patient to perform a breast ultrasound after mammogram to obtain a comprehensive examination for any abnormalities that appeared during the mammography examination.
Ultrasound is used to examine:
- Many types of cancer do not show up on radiographs.
- Dense breast tissue cannot be examined with mammography.
- For pregnant women, it is not possible to perform mammography.
What are the normal breast ultrasound readings?
The normal breast ultrasound readings are characterized by the appearance of the skin layer, the layers of fat, the glandular tissue, and the pectoral muscle as homogeneous layers without any distortion or defect.
What are the abnormal breast ultrasound readings?
Abnormalities in breast tissue may appear in several forms as hard lumps, water-filled cysts, or both hard and water-filled cysts:
- Simple cyst (the shape of the lumps is round or pointed).
- Complex cyst (the presence of lumps like a simple cyst, but more complex as it is characterized by the presence of internal breaks in the lumps).
