What does a diagnostic mammogram with a possible us mean?
A diagnostic mammogram is an imaging study (X-ray) that is used to visualize the breast. It is used either as a screening test or to rule mass lesions. Oftentimes, it is ordered in conjunction with an ultrasound. The ultrasound is another imaging study to differentiate the nature of the mass. For instance, if the mammogram showed a mass in the right upper quadrant of the left breast then it should be followed by an ultrasound to differentiate a solid mass from a simple cyst.
What is isoechoic solid nodule in breast?
That would be a "hard pea-sized lump that doesn't show up on ultrasound".
Why a need for ultrasound after a mammogram?
Ultrasound is often used after a mammogram to provide additional imaging when a suspicious area is identified. It helps differentiate between solid masses and fluid-filled cysts, which can aid in determining the nature of a breast abnormality. Additionally, ultrasound can be useful for guiding biopsies or assessing areas that are difficult to evaluate with mammography alone, especially in women with dense breast tissue. Ultimately, it enhances diagnostic accuracy and can help in early detection of breast cancer.
Why would a solid breast nodule show up on the mammogram but not on the ultrasound?
A solid breast nodule may appear on a mammogram due to its density, which can create an abnormal shadow or mass that is detectable on X-ray images. However, if the nodule is small or has a specific composition that doesn't reflect sound waves effectively, it may not be visualized on ultrasound. Additionally, the orientation and depth of the nodule can affect its visibility on ultrasound, making it challenging to detect in some cases. It's important for healthcare providers to use both imaging modalities for a comprehensive evaluation.
Why can't a mammogram and an ultrasound detect a lump in your breast?
Mammograms and ultrasounds only detect cancerous lumps.. or lumps that have cancer. Mammograms and Ultrasounds can detect benign lumps/masses in the breast, Mammograms are unable to distinguish the difference if something is solid or cystic, so an ultrasound is used in conjunction with a mammogram.
Why Ultrasound can pass even through solids?
Ultrasound can pass through solids because it is a type of mechanical wave that is generated by vibrating particles. The wavelength of ultrasound is smaller than the spacing of particles in a solid, allowing it to penetrate through the material. This property makes ultrasound useful for medical imaging and non-destructive testing of solid objects.
What is a solid papable breast mass?
A solid palpable breast mass is a lump in the breast tissue that can be felt by touch and is not filled with fluid. It may be caused by various conditions, including cysts, fibroadenomas, or breast cancer. It is important to have any solid palpable breast mass evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
What does hypoechoeic area mean?
Hypoechoic area is a medical term relating to ultrasound scanning. On ultrasound, a solid mass appears as a grey or hypoechoic area.
Breast ultrasound?
DefinitionBreast ultrasound uses sound waves that cannot be heard by humans to look at the breast.Alternative NamesUltrasonography of the breast; Sonogram of the breastHow the test is performedYou will be asked to undress from the waist up and put on a medical gown. During the test, you will lie on your back on the examining table.A water-soluble gel is placed on the skin of the breast. A hand-held device (transducer) directs the sound waves to the breast tissue. The transducer is moved over the skin of the breast to create a picture that can be seen on a screen.Breast ultrasound may also be used to guide a needle during a breast biopsy.How to prepare for the testBecause you need to remove your clothing from the waist up, it may be helpful to wear a two-piece outfit. On the day of the test, do not use any lotions or powders on your breasts or wear deodorant under your arms.How the test will feelThe number of people involved in the test will be limited to protect your privacy.You will be asked to raise your arms above your head and turn to the left or right as needed.There is no discomfort from the ultrasound.Why the test is performedCommon uses of ultrasound are:In addition to a mammogram or physical exam, if something abnormal is found. If a mammogram shows a growth, ultrasound can help determine whether it is a solid mass or a cyst.By itself, to check a breast lump or nipple dischargeNormal ValuesNormal breast tissue.Normally, the breast tissue will be uniform and will not have any suspicious growths.What abnormal results meanUltrasound can help show noncancerous growths such as cysts, fibroadenomas, or lipomas. A cyst is a fluid-filled sac. A fibroadenoma is a noncancerous solid growth. Lipomas are noncancerous fatty lumps that can occur anywhere in the body, including the breasts.Breast cancers can also be seen with ultrasound.What the risks areThere are no risks associated with breast ultrasound. There is no radiation exposure.ReferencesKim CH, Bassett LW. Imaging-guided core needle biopsy of the breast. In: Bassett LW, Jackson VP, Fu KL, Fu YS, eds.

Can ultrasound pass through a solid?
no a solid will absorb the energy and will not pass it along to the air on the other side of the solid a solid with holes or very very thin solid is possible but will reduce the strength of the signal
What does the state of matter solid mean?
solid is the state of matter which is made by freezing liquid to it freezing point (which is 31.9 degrees) hope this helps!! No you are wrong it is the thick layer of something like a glass which you showed well part of your answer is right
Why would a consultant want you to have a ultrasound after you have had a ct scan and pet scan. The scans showed swellings and possible scar tissue.?
A consultant may recommend an ultrasound after a CT and PET scan to obtain more detailed information about the swellings and scar tissue. Ultrasound can provide real-time imaging and help differentiate between solid masses, fluid-filled cysts, and scar tissue, which may not be as clearly defined on the other scans. Additionally, ultrasound is non-invasive and can be used to guide biopsies or further assessments if necessary. This comprehensive approach helps ensure an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.
