Breast Elastography

Advanced Breast Ultrasound for Better Clarity & Accurate Diagnosis

What is Breast Elastography?

Breast Elastography is an advanced ultrasound technique that measures the stiffness of breast tissue. Since cancerous lesions are usually firmer, elastography helps differentiate between benign and suspicious findings with much higher accuracy.

It is completely safe, radiation-free, and painless.

Why Breast Elastography Matters

Increases Accuracy of Breast Ultrasound

Helps distinguish benign vs malignant nodules
Reduces unnecessary biopsies
Improves confidence in interpretation

Important for Women with Dense Breasts

Dense tissue can hide lesions on mammography. Elastography adds valuable information and improves lesion characterization.

Early Cancer Detection

Stiff areas on elastography may indicate early pathology, helping detect cancers at a more treatable stage.

Helps in Follow-up

Useful for monitoring:

Benign fibroadenomas
Post-treatment changes
Indeterminate lesions

When is Breast Elastography Recommended?

You may benefit from elastography if you have:

A breast lump
Dense breast tissue
A lesion seen on ultrasound needing further evaluation
A need for follow-up of a previously benign finding

How It Works

The ultrasound system evaluates how much the breast tissue compresses or moves in response to gentle pressure (or shear waves).

Soft tissue = likely benign
Hard/stiff tissue = needs further evaluation

A color-coded stiffness map is added to your ultrasound images for more precise evaluation.
