This examination method is recommended for women for breast cancer screening. In young women, the mammary gland consists mainly of glandular tissue. A comprehensive mammological examination allows identifying the structure of muscle and glandular tissue, detecting pathological changes in the mammary glands such as fibrocystic mastopathy, mastitis, cysts, fibroadenomas, and neoplasms.
After 40 years, glandular tissue is replaced by fat and connective tissue. Ultrasound waves pass well through muscle and glandular tissue, but poorly through fat, so at this age, mammography becomes a more informative method. In men, ultrasound of the mammary glands is used for gynecomastia and suspected tumors.
A comprehensive examination is up to 30% more profitable than purchasing each of the services separately.
