Ultrasound
Ultrasound Scan and Cancer Diagnosis
An ultrasound scan is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create real-time images of structures inside the body. It does not use radiation and is commonly used to examine organs and soft tissues, making it an important tool in cancer detection and assessment.
​
Ultrasound helps doctors identify abnormal masses, determine whether a lump is solid or fluid-filled, and assess the size and location of tumours. It is also widely used to guide biopsies and other procedures with precision. During follow-up care, ultrasound can help monitor changes over time.
