Screening Ultrasound in Pooler, GA
Many women have dense breast tissue. Breasts of this type can complicate matters when it comes to mammograms. Dense breast tissue may obscure findings on standard screening mammograms and reduce the sensitivity and specificity of mammography.
At The Center for Women’s Health, we offer screening ultrasounds as an additional tool. Breast ultrasonography uses sound waves instead of radiation to create a picture of the breast tissue and allows your care team to evaluate for any abnormalities. Ultrasonography can also be valuable when there are concerning findings on a screening mammogram.
Your physician can help you decide if a screening breast ultrasound is appropriate for you. For appointments and questions, please call us at (912) 303-5470.
