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 Woodland 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.
- 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.
- Whole Breast Ultrasound Screening: Comprehensive evaluation of both breasts for women with dense tissue, as a complement to mammography.
- Post-Mammogram Follow-Up: When a mammogram shows an area that needs closer examination, ultrasound provides additional detail without additional radiation.
- Cyst vs. Solid Mass Differentiation: Ultrasound can clearly distinguish between fluid-filled cysts (usually benign) and solid masses that may need further evaluation.
- Targeted Breast Ultrasound: Focused imaging of a specific area of concern — such as a palpable lump or a region flagged on a mammogram.
- 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 Woodland?
Breast Ultrasound serves a wide range of patients across Woodland and the surrounding Yolo County communities. Here are some common scenarios where this imaging is recommended:
- 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.
- 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 Woodland.
Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Ultrasound in Woodland
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. 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.
3. 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 Woodland.
4. 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.
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 24 hours. Your doctor will discuss the findings and any recommended next steps with you.
