A Breast and Axilla Ultrasound Scan is a non-invasive imaging procedure that provides a thorough examination of the breast tissue and the axillary (underarm) area. This scan is commonly used to investigate breast lumps, identify abnormalities, and evaluate the lymph nodes in the axillary region. It offers a clear, detailed view of breast health, supporting early detection of breast-related conditions, including cancer.
What is a Breast and Axilla Ultrasound Scan?
This ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the breast tissue and axillary lymph nodes. It helps detect:
- Breast Lumps and Masses: Differentiates between solid masses (which may require further evaluation) and fluid-filled cysts (usually benign).
- Lymph Node Evaluation: Examines the axillary lymph nodes to check for signs of infection, inflammation, or cancer spread.
- Breast Tissue Health: Assesses the overall structure of the breast, detecting abnormalities like thickened tissue or calcifications.
Why is a Breast and Axilla Ultrasound Scan Important?
This scan plays a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring various conditions:
- Breast Cancer Screening: Assists in detecting breast cancer, especially in women with dense breast tissue where mammograms might not provide clear results.
- Lymph Node Evaluation: Identifies abnormal lymph nodes that could indicate infection, inflammation, or cancerous spread.
- Follow-Up for Abnormal Mammograms: Provides a more detailed examination when mammogram results show areas of concern.
- Cyst and Lump Differentiation: Helps differentiate between benign cysts and potentially harmful solid lumps.
Who Should Consider a Breast and Axilla Ultrasound Scan?
This scan is recommended for:
- Individuals with breast lumps, pain, or other symptoms needing investigation.
- Women with dense breast tissue, as mammograms may not provide accurate results.
- Those with a family history of breast cancer who require regular screening.
- People with abnormal mammogram results who need further assessment.
- Individuals experiencing axillary swelling or discomfort that could indicate lymph node issues.
Breast ultrasound is also recommended for women who:
- Are at high risk for breast cancer.
- Are pregnant or should avoid x-ray exposure (as with mammograms).
- Have dense breast tissue, where mammograms may not be effective.
- Need further evaluation of breast lumps, pain, or other abnormalities.
- Are monitoring response to breast cancer treatment or evaluating axillary lymph nodes.
