Your Women’s Ultrasound Clinic in Royal Oak, MI
Ultrasound is a radiology imaging technology that uses sound waves to distinguish normal from abnormal findings or conditions within the body. Ultrasound waves excel in evaluating fluid-filled organs.
Imaging is performed by a technologist who gently moves a wand over the body part to generate sound waves. These sound waves are converted to images (pictures) which a specialized radiologist interprets.

Breast Ultrasound
If your doctor detects a mass on your breast examination or if you complain of a breast lump, an ultrasound may be ordered. A breast ultrasound may also be requested after an abnormal mammogram to get a ‘closer look’ at a particular area. The technologist or the radiologist will perform the imaging and will review the results with you at the time of the study. Ultrasound helps to determine if the finding is a benign process such as a cyst or a suspicious lesion that requires additional evaluation. Ultrasound may also be recommended if you have dense tissue or a family history of breast cancer.
