Breast Scan

A Breast Ultrasound examination is a safe, painless imaging modality utilizing high-frequency soundwaves to evaluate breast tissue and dense fibroglandular structures. Unlike mammography, ultrasound involves no X-ray radiation or painful breast compression, making it the preferred primary diagnostic tool for women under 40 and an essential supplementary test for women with dense breast tissue.

The scan precisely differentiates between fluid-filled benign cysts and solid tissue masses like fibroadenomas or suspicious lesions. It also includes an evaluation of the axillary lymph nodes and breast implant contours when required.

For women with cosmetic or reconstructive breast implants, regular monitoring is essential to ensure long-term device safety. High-resolution ultrasound is highly effective for assessing both silicone gel and saline-filled implants without the intense compression required by standard mammography.

Our specialist expert doctors examine the entire implant structure to check for:

• Shell Integrity & Ruptures: Detecting intracapsular or extracapsular tears, folds, and structural compromise in the implant wall.
• Silent Leaks: Identifying subtle silicone seepage or fluid collections before they cause noticeable physical changes or discomfort.
• Capsular Contracture: Evaluating surrounding tissue thickening and hardening around the implant pocket.
• Surrounding Breast Tissue: Ensuring natural breast tissue underneath or around the implant remains healthy and free of lumps or nodules.
