Ultrasound and Mammography

Ultrasound and mammography are two of the most commonly used imaging techniques in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Ultrasound uses sound waves to create a detailed picture of the breast to detect any abnormalities, such as a lump or cyst. Mammography uses a low-dose X-ray to create a detailed image of the breast, which can help detect early signs of cancer. Both techniques are non-invasive and can be used to detect breast cancer at an early stage, which is important for successful treatment. Ultrasound and mammography can be used in combination to detect breast cancer more accurately and earlier than would be possible with either technique alone.
