In the area of diagnosis of breast disease, breast ultrasound is undoubtedly an important “detector” who plays a key role in safeguarding the health of women’s breast.
Breast ultrasound is an inspection method that uses ultrasound reflectors to observe the internal structure of the breast. It has a number of significant advantages, making it a common tool for breast screening and diagnosis.
First, breast ultrasound is extremely safe. Unlike some irradiatory methods, ultrasounds, which use ultrasounds, do not pose a radiation hazard to the human body, which means that both young women, pregnant women and women who breastfeed, can be examined without fear. Breast ultrasound is undoubtedly the best option for mothers who fear that the examination will affect their own health and that of the foetus.
Second, breast ultrasound provides a clear internal picture of breast tissue. It can accurately detect bulges, cysts, etc. in the breast, and can make a preliminary assessment of the nature of the bulge, for example, by distinguishing between actual bulges or cysts, and by describing in detail the size, morphology, boundary and internal echoes of the bulge. This information is essential for doctors to further assess the condition and develop treatment programmes.
Moreover, breast ultrasound operations are simple and fast. Patients usually have to lie flat on the examination bed and the doctor moves the ultrasound gently in the breast to obtain the required image information. The whole examination process is relatively easy, does not normally require special preparation and does not take too long to facilitate the patient ‘ s medical experience.
In addition, the price of breast ultrasound is relatively personal. The cost of ultrasound is more acceptable to the general public than some other high-end screening equipment, which also allows more women to undergo regular breast examinations, thus increasing the rate of early detection of breast disease.
However, breast ultrasound is not perfect. It may not be as sensitive to detection as mammograms for some small calcified points. Thus, in practical clinical applications, breast ultrasound is often used in combination with other screening methods, such as mammograms, MRI imaging, so as to provide a more complete and accurate diagnosis of breast disease.
In short, breast ultrasound plays an essential role in safeguarding the health of the mammary, in keeping with its safety, clarity, ease and economic advantages, and in safeguarding the health of the breast of women in general.
