Breast Ultrasound
Public Sono Ai Report guide about Breast Ultrasound, with context, preparation notes, references and safety limits for ultrasound use.
What it is used for
Breast ultrasound uses sound waves to evaluate the internal structures of the breast. It can complement the physical examination, mammography, or MRI, especially when there is a palpable area, a finding to clarify, or a need to guide a procedure.
It should not be treated as an automatic substitute for mammography or medical evaluation. The best exam depends on age, symptoms, history, physical examination, individual risk, and guidance from the responsible facility.

Preparation and previous exams
Preparation is usually simple, but it is worth avoiding products on the breasts and armpits, wearing easy-to-change clothes, and bringing previous exams. If there is a mammogram on the same day or a guided biopsy, follow the clinic's specific instructions.
