The radiologist will apply a lubricant (clear gel) on your breast or the transducer. Note that this might feel cold.
Next, they will move the wand around your breasts and axilla. You may feel a little pressure as they press and move the wand; be sure to let them know if it’s uncomfortable. The doctor might also ask you to move from time to time to get clearer images.
Overall, the breast ultrasound procedure will be completed within 15 to 30 minutes.
After
After, the doctor will wipe the lubricant off of your skin and you’ll be asked to change back into your clothes.
The images are ready, but you might need to wait for hours or days for the interpretation.
There’s no downtime for a breast ultrasound. That means you can resume your activities right after.
