Breast Ultrasound Aids Screening and Diagnosis

Robin Roberts , ABC's news anchor, was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, which was found on a breast ultrasound. A breast ultrasound examination is not considered a screening test, but an investigative technology used for taking a closer look at areas of your breast that your doctor still has questions about after doing a mammogram and clinical breast exam. An ultrasound test may be useful if your mammogram shows an indistinct mass, or if a lump can be easily felt during a clinical breast exam.
