But, in return, ultrasound show us some injury’ the biggest in the context of a so-called dense glandular structure, typical of youthful breast. It also allows us to see much even peripherally in areas that might escape the mammogram. Ultrasound can be repeated as many times as you want. Consider that you use the same principle in pregnant. Remember that a Senologico serious control involves first visit (blessed inspection and palpation) and then an ultrasound and after forty years also mammography. At Last, always come back from breast specialist to evaluate the tests performed : only those who have visited can know better interpret ultrasound or a mammogram and advise for the better.
