What is a Breast Ultrasound?
A breast ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create detailed images of breast tissue. It is particularly useful for detecting lumps, cysts, and abnormalities in women with dense breast tissue, and serves as an important tool for the early detection of breast cancer.
Who Should Have a Breast Ultrasound?
- Women of any age who notice changes in their breasts, such as lumps, pain, or skin changes, can benefit from an ultrasound.
- Younger women and those with dense breast tissue, for whom mammograms may be less effective, benefit from breast ultrasound as a reliable screening method.
Breast Ultrasound & Examination In Basel
What to Expect During Your Breast Ultrasound?
Dr. Wagner will begin with a detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history. The ultrasound is a painless procedure in which a small handheld device (transducer) is moved over the breast to produce real-time images of the breast tissue.
Clinical Breast Examination
What is a Clinical Breast Examination?
A clinical breast examination (CBE) is a physical examination of the breasts performed by Dr. Anna M Wagner. During this examination, Dr. Wagner manually checks for lumps, changes in breast tissue, and other potential signs of breast abnormalities.
When Should You Have a Clinical Breast Examination?
- A clinical breast examination is recommended annually as part of routine preventive care for women. It is especially useful for detecting changes that may need to be further evaluated with imaging tests.
- Women who experience any changes in their breasts, such as lumps, nipple discharge, or breast pain, should have a CBE as soon as possible.
What to Expect During Your Clinical Breast Examination?
Dr. Wagner will carefully examine your breasts, looking for any unusual changes in size, shape, or texture, and checking for lumps or abnormalities. The examination is quick, non-invasive, and can provide important insights into your breast health.
