How Good Is Ultrasound At Detecting Breast Cancers? 

Breast ultrasound is a highly effective way to investigate any lumps or abnormalities in the breast. Its accuracy in detecting cancer depends on several factors, including breast tissue type, the skill of the sonographer or radiologist performing the scan and how well the images of any lesion, tumour or mass are interpreted.

Ultrasound is particularly useful for people with dense breast tissue, as it can reveal cancers that mammograms may not detect. However, mammography has its own strengths, such as identifying tiny calcium deposits (microcalcifications) that ultrasound can sometimes miss.

Ultrasound can help distinguish between fluid-filled cysts and solid lumps in the breast. It also provides important detail about the characteristics of a solid mass, helping to determine whether it appears benign, indeterminate or suspicious for malignancy.

A Breast Ultrasound Armpit/Axilla Scan at our London clinic is most often used for targeted assessment of a lump that can be felt, or as a complementary test alongside mammography or MRI. It is not usually used as a primary screen method, except in certain cases such as younger women, pregnant women or individuals who cannot undergo mammography.
