If you’re navigating breast health, you might hear both "mammogram" and "ultrasound" used often. Here is a simple breakdown of how they work together.
A mammogram is a routine screening tool that uses low-dose X-rays to get a broad view of breast tissue, helping detect changes early.
A breast ultrasound uses sound waves to get a closer, targeted look at a specific area. It is often used alongside a mammogram if you have dense breast tissue, or if you feel something specific that needs to be checked.
If you need a diagnostic breast ultrasound, we are here to make the process simple and comfortable. At Diagnostics by First Look NOLA, you don't need a doctor's referral to book your scan, and our self-pay pricing is always transparent.
