What is pelvic ultrasound used to assess?

Pelvic ultrasound may be used to assess pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, ovarian cysts, fibroids and other women’s health concerns.

Is breast ultrasound the same as mammography?

No. Mammography uses low-dose X-ray imaging, while breast ultrasound uses sound waves. Your referring doctor will determine which scan is appropriate based on your symptoms and clinical history.
