A member asked:

What is a bilateral ultrasound. i received a letter that i have it done after i had a mammogram?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both breasts: Bilateral means both sides. If after a mammogram of both breasts a bilateral ultrasound is recommended, an ultrasound on both breasts is what they suggest to do.
