Breast Ultrasound in Miami

Targeted, radiation-free imaging to evaluate breast lumps and follow up on mammogram findings.

Overview

Targeted Evaluation of Breast Concerns

Breast ultrasound helps determine whether a lump is a fluid-filled cyst or a solid mass, and is often used to follow up a finding on a mammogram. It uses no radiation.

Breast ultrasound does not replace a screening mammogram — your physician will advise which tests you need.
