Breast ultrasound is not as sensitive as mammography in diagnosing breast cancer. It may be used to:[1]
- examine a breast lump or abnormality found during a clinical breast examination or mammogram
- determine if a breast lump is a solid tumour or a fluid-filled cyst (sac in the body that is usually filled with fluid or semi-solid material)
- find an abnormal area for a biopsy
