What is an ultrasound of breast? does it use radiation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sound wave test: An ultrasound of the breast uses the same technology as an ultrasound of the uterus or pelvis. It is very safe, even for pregnant women, and is more accurate in determining cystic formations in the breast. There is no radiation involved in this type of testing.
