A member asked:
Hosp told me that i have a cyst in a breast ,is it safe to do a momgramm or ultrasound ? 1st time to hear this. which one would you recommend ?thanks

Likely both.: Breasts cysts are diagnosed with ultrasound. However, a mammogram will likely be obtained at the same time if you don't have a recent one. This will provide a baseline for future mammograms and may provide additional information in case it is not a cyst. Best wishes to you.
