Mammography
In the SBCC all mammograms are carried out by suitably qualified radiographers who are recognised as competent in mammography and trained in a dedicated mammography unit. The mammographers as part of a highly skilled multi-disciplinary team whose aim it is to deliver the best quality service to all who attend the unit.
Breast Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound exams do not use ionizing radiation (as used in x-rays). Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels.
Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Ultrasound imaging of the breast produces a picture of the internal structures of the breast.
