Ultrasonography (US) Reviews

It is a practical diagnostic method that uses high frequency sound waves, which we use to study the organs and systems of the human body. Ultrason the sound waves coming out of the probe of his device hit the human body, are reflected, that is, make an echo and are detected by the same probe again.

How is It Implemented?

The examination is performed while the patient is in a reclining position. A gel is applied to the breast and the US apparatus (probe) that allows obtaining an image is moved over the breast. At this time, the images formed on the US screen are being examined, and if a suspicious finding is detected, the image is saved.The detected suspicious findings are evaluated according to their internal structure, shape and whether their edges are smooth or not, and they are examined with a technique called color Doppler, which allows the vessels to be imaged. A large number of irregular veins can be seen inside the malignant masses. Some devices are able to determine the hardness of the tissue with the elastography technique. Breast cancer is expected to be more severe than the surrounding tissue or benign masses. With recent studies, it has been revealed that elastography also contributes to the differentiation of benign and malignant findings.In addition to color Doppler and elastography techniques, medical devices have features that make it easier to better evaluate superficial organs such as breasts, to see small masses and structural disorders. Jewelry and jewelry should be left at home, and loose and comfortable clothes should be worn. Sometimes it may be requested to wear a dress or an apron before shooting. If it is not necessary to wear an apron, clothes without metal zippers, fasteners, buttons, underwire bras, belts or buckles should be preferred. Patients with a fear of confined spaces may request a mild sedative medication from their doctor before the procedure. Such patients may also be offered an open MRI scan, but the open mri has a low magnet strength.
