Breast and regional lymph nodes ultrasound examination (echoscopy)

Breast and regional lymph nodes ultrasound examination – a safe, non-invasive, and informative imaging examination aimed at assessing the condition of breast tissues and surrounding lymph nodes.

During the examination, ultrasound is used to evaluate:

• the structure and symmetry of breast tissues,
• nodules, cysts, or other structural changes,
• inflammatory or other tissue changes,
• regional lymph nodes (axillary, clavicular, and other clinically significant areas),
• the size, shape, and internal structure of lymph nodes.

This examination helps to detect early changes in breast tissues and the lymphatic system, assess the causes of palpable masses, pain, swelling, skin or nipple changes, and is used both for preventive purposes and condition monitoring.

What is important to know?

• The examination is painless and safe, with no ionizing radiation used.
• Suitable for patients of various ages.
• No special preparation is required.
• Duration – about 20–30 minutes.
• The results of the examination are discussed immediately, providing clear conclusions and, if necessary, further recommendations.

The examination is intended for those who want to take timely care of breast health, clearly understand the condition of the breasts and regional lymph nodes, and make informed decisions regarding further examination or monitoring.
