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 Sacramento location.
Scheduling Your Appointment
Schedule your breast ultrasound by calling us or booking online. We offer appointments within 24 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 24 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.
- Post-Mammogram Follow-Up: When a mammogram shows an area that needs closer examination, ultrasound provides additional detail without additional radiation.
- 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.
- Whole Breast Ultrasound Screening: Comprehensive evaluation of both breasts for women with dense tissue, as a complement to mammography.
- Cyst vs. Solid Mass Differentiation: Ultrasound can clearly distinguish between fluid-filled cysts (usually benign) and solid masses that may need further evaluation.
- 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 Sacramento?
Breast Ultrasound serves a wide range of patients across Sacramento and the surrounding Sacramento County communities. Here are some common scenarios where this imaging is recommended:
- Women with dense breast tissue benefit significantly from supplemental breast ultrasound, as mammography alone may not detect all abnormalities in dense tissue.
- Younger women (under 30) with breast concerns are often referred for ultrasound first, since their denser breast tissue responds better to ultrasound than to mammography.
- 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 Sacramento.
