Why Choose Mobile Breast Ultrasound in Auburn?

When it comes to diagnostic imaging, you deserve a team that combines clinical rigor with genuine care. Here is why Auburn residents trust UltraVision Imaging:

• No Radiation Exposure: Unlike mammography, breast ultrasound uses sound waves to create images — there is no ionizing radiation involved. This makes it an excellent complementary tool for breast tissue evaluation.
• Ideal for Dense Breast Tissue: Many women have dense breast tissue, which can make mammogram interpretation more challenging. Ultrasound excels at differentiating between solid masses and fluid-filled cysts in dense tissue.
• Private and Comfortable: We provide a calm, private setting for your breast exam. Our sonographers explain every step, ensuring you feel at ease throughout the entire procedure.
• RDMS-Certified Specialists: Your breast ultrasound is performed by registered diagnostic medical sonographers with specialized training in breast imaging, ensuring accuracy and thoroughness.
• Results Within 48 Hours: A board-certified radiologist reviews your images and sends a comprehensive report to your referring physician within 48 hours, minimizing your wait time for answers.

What to Expect During Your Breast Ultrasound Appointment

Understanding the process helps you feel prepared and at ease. Here is a step-by-step guide to your breast ultrasound at our Auburn location.

Scheduling Your Appointment

Schedule your breast ultrasound by calling us or booking online. We offer appointments within 48 hours and can accommodate urgent referrals.

Preparing for Your Scan

No special preparation is needed for a breast ultrasound. Avoid applying lotion, powder, or deodorant to the breast and underarm area on the day of your exam, as these can interfere with imaging.

During the Scan

You will lie on your back or side while warm gel is applied to the breast area. The sonographer uses a handheld transducer to systematically scan the breast tissue, capturing images from multiple angles. The exam typically takes 20 to 30 minutes per breast.

Receiving Your Results

Your images are reviewed by a board-certified radiologist, and a detailed report is sent to your referring physician within 48 hours.

Follow-Up Care

Your doctor will discuss the results with you and determine whether any follow-up is needed, such as additional imaging, monitoring, or biopsy referral.

Our Breast Ultrasound Capabilities

UltraVision Imaging offers a comprehensive range of breast ultrasound studies using advanced portable ultrasound systems. All exams are performed by RDMS-certified sonographers and interpreted by board-certified radiologists.

• Whole Breast Ultrasound Screening: Comprehensive evaluation of both breasts for women with dense tissue, as a complement to mammography.
• Dense Breast Tissue Evaluation: For women with heterogeneously or extremely dense breast tissue (BI-RADS C or D), ultrasound adds a valuable layer of screening.
• Targeted Breast Ultrasound: Focused imaging of a specific area of concern — such as a palpable lump or a region flagged on a mammogram.
• Cyst vs. Solid Mass Differentiation: Ultrasound can clearly distinguish between fluid-filled cysts (usually benign) and solid masses that may need further evaluation.
• Post-Mammogram Follow-Up: When a mammogram shows an area that needs closer examination, ultrasound provides additional detail without additional radiation.
• Axillary Lymph Node Evaluation: Assessment of lymph nodes in the armpit area, important for breast health monitoring and cancer staging.

Who Benefits from Breast Ultrasound in Auburn?

Breast Ultrasound serves a wide range of patients across Auburn and the surrounding Placer County communities. Here are some common scenarios where this imaging is recommended:

• Women who have received a callback after a routine mammogram often undergo breast ultrasound as the next step to clarify mammographic findings without additional radiation.
• Women with dense breast tissue benefit significantly from supplemental breast ultrasound, as mammography alone may not detect all abnormalities in dense tissue.
• If you have found a palpable lump during a self-exam, a targeted breast ultrasound can quickly determine whether it is a simple cyst, a solid nodule, or something requiring further evaluation.

If your physician has recommended a breast ultrasound, or if you have concerns that may warrant imaging, contact UltraVision Imaging to schedule your appointment in Auburn.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Ultrasound in Auburn

1. How long does a breast ultrasound take?

A typical breast ultrasound takes 20 to 30 minutes. A bilateral (both breasts) exam may take slightly longer. We schedule ample time so your sonographer can be thorough.

2. Do I need a referral for a breast ultrasound?

Yes, a physician’s order is typically required for a diagnostic breast ultrasound. Your primary care doctor, OB-GYN, or breast specialist can provide the referral. If you do not have a provider, we can help connect you with one in Auburn.

3. Can breast ultrasound detect cancer?

Breast ultrasound can identify suspicious masses, irregular shapes, and abnormal blood flow patterns. While it cannot diagnose cancer by itself, it is a critical tool that guides your physician’s decision on whether a biopsy is needed.

4. How do I prepare for a breast ultrasound?

No special preparation is needed. Simply avoid applying lotion, powder, or deodorant to your breast and underarm areas on the day of your exam. Wear a comfortable two-piece outfit for easy access to the chest area.

5. Does a breast ultrasound hurt?

A breast ultrasound is generally painless. You may feel mild pressure as the transducer is moved across the skin. If you have a tender area, let your sonographer know and they will be gentle.

6. Is breast ultrasound a replacement for mammography?

Breast ultrasound is a valuable complement to mammography, not a replacement. Mammography is the primary screening tool for breast cancer. Ultrasound adds diagnostic value, especially for women with dense breast tissue or when a mammogram shows an area that needs further evaluation.

7. When will I receive my results?

Your images are reviewed by a board-certified radiologist, and a written report is sent to your referring physician within 48 hours. Your doctor will discuss the findings and any recommended next steps with you.
