Ultrasound Breast Biopsy
| An ultrasound guided needle biopsy of the breast will enable you and your doctor to have your biopsy results in a simple, fast and effective way. |
The ultra-sound guided breast biopsy is another up-to-date breast technology procedure that the Breast Clinic offers. An ultrasound scan detects breast changes by sending high-frequency sound waves into the breast. The echo patterns from the sound waves are converted into an image of the breast's interior. An ultrasound guided needle biopsy of the breast will enable you and your doctor to have your biopsy results in a simple, fast and effective way.
