How long does a breast ultrasound take to do?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not too long: A breast ultrasound usually only takes between 20-40 minutes, but is somewhat operator dependent. An experienced ultrasonographer can be fairly rapid. However it is more important for them to be thorough and experienced rather than quick.

It varries: A focused breast ultrasound for a single palpable lump may only take a few short minutes. A more comprehensive evaluation for other abnormalities may take much longer from 5 to 30 minutes or so. The larger breast size also makes the study harder and longer to perform. So the duration of breast ultrasound depends on many factors.

My obgyn no longer does breast exams during my check up stating that its no longer really necessary since I get mammos and ultrasounds. I thought the doctor was required to do it as precautionary. Is that a new medical recommendation?
