Description
Breast ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test used to evaluate lumps, pain, or abnormalities detected during physical exam or mammography—typically costing ¥30–70 (US$200–500) and coordinated with Chinese hospitals through ChinaMedicalHub.
Main Uses
The primary purposes and applicable scenarios for a breast ultrasound (乳腺彩超) include: 1. Screening for breast cancer, especially in women with dense breast tissue, 2. Evaluating palpable lumps or other breast symptoms, 3. Monitoring changes in known benign lesions, 4. Guiding needle biopsies, 5. Assessing the effectiveness of treatment in patients with breast cancer, 6. Evaluating breast pain or nipple discharge.
Normal Range
The normal range for a breast ultrasound (乳腺彩超) typically includes no detection of masses, cysts, or other abnormalities. Common indicators include: no solid nodules, no complex cysts, and no signs of calcifications or architectural distortion. The BI-RADS (Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System) category is usually 1 or 2, indicating negative or benign findings.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Low values or absence of certain indicators in a breast ultrasound are generally not a concern. However, if the test fails to detect an existing condition, it could be due to: 1. Technical limitations of the ultrasound, 2. Small size of the lesion, 3. Lesion location that is difficult to image, 4. Operator error, 5. Patient factors such as dense breast tissue.
High Values - Possible Causes
High values or abnormal findings in a breast ultrasound can be caused by: 1. Benign conditions such as fibroadenomas or cysts, 2. Malignant tumors, 3. Inflammatory diseases like mastitis, 4. Ductal ectasia, 5. Lymph node enlargement.
