A breast ultrasound uses sound waves to obtain images of breast tissue. It can provide information as part of an evaluation, but whether it is appropriate and how it is interpreted depend on your age, medical history and reason for the test.

Torre Humana, San Salvador, by appointment.
Ultrasound imaging can show characteristics of breast tissue and may be used to expand an evaluation or follow a previous medical indication.
Its usefulness depends on the clinical question. It should not be presented as a universal substitute for a mammogram, clinical examination or other tests that may be appropriate.
If you have noticed a lump, discharge, skin changes, persistent pain or another recent change, tell the team so we can guide you toward the appropriate appointment.
Fasting and a full bladder are generally not required, but confirm the instructions when booking. Wear clothing that makes it easy to uncover the area being examined.
Bring any medical orders, reports, mammograms or previous ultrasounds you have. Comparing studies can provide context, although it does not guarantee a particular conclusion.
Gel is applied to the skin, and a transducer is moved over the breast and, when appropriate, nearby areas. The professional may spend more time on specific areas to obtain different images.
The procedure does not use ionizing radiation. You can tell us about any pain or tenderness so the examination can be performed as carefully as possible.
After the ultrasound, you will receive information about how the report will be delivered. Its interpretation should take your symptoms, medical history, age and other available findings into account.
An ultrasound alone cannot rule out every breast condition. If the report recommends comparison, follow-up or another test, the next step should be determined with professional guidance.
