Even so, mammograms do not detect all breast cancers. Some breast lesions and abnormalities are not visible or are difficult to interpret on mammograms. In breasts that are dense, meaning there is a lot of ducts, glands, fibrous tissue and less fat, many cancers can be hard to see on mammography. <\/li><li>Many studies have shown that ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help supplement mammography by detecting breast cancers that may not be visible with mammography. When ultrasound is used for screening, abnormalities not visible with mammography may be identified, including some that may require biopsy. Many of the abnormalities found with screening breast ultrasound are not cancer (false positives), but breast US allows for a full examination. <\/li><\/ul>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Ultrasound can be offered as a screening tool for women who:&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;]<ul class=\"list-one  krth-list-69f4344ec9de2\"><li>Are at high risk for breast cancer and unable to undergo an MRI examination.<\/li><li>Are pregnant or should not be exposed to x-rays (which is necessary for a mammogram).<\/li><li>Have increased breast density \u2014 when the breasts have a lot of glandular and connective tissue and not much fatty tissue (see the Dense Breasts page for more information).<\/li><\/ul>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Ultrasound-guided Breast FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) \/Biopsy &#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>When a clinical examination by physician or an ultrasound examination reveals a suspicious breast abnormality, it may become necessary to perform an ultrasound-guided FNAC \/ biopsy.<\/strong> Because ultrasound provides real-time images, it is often used to guide biopsy procedures.
