What is a unilateral mammogram?
A unilateral mammogram is an X-ray examination focused on one breast. It may be recommended when a specific breast symptom, change or previous finding requires further assessment.
What is a breast ultrasound?
A breast ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images of breast tissue. It can provide additional information about certain breast findings and may be recommended alongside mammography when clinically appropriate.
Why would I need a unilateral mammogram?
A healthcare professional may recommend focused imaging of one breast when there is a specific symptom, physical change, previous imaging finding or another clinical reason requiring further evaluation.
Why are a mammogram and ultrasound sometimes performed together?
The two examinations use different imaging methods and can provide complementary information. Your healthcare professional can determine whether one or both are appropriate based on your symptoms and medical circumstances.
Is a unilateral mammogram the same as a breast screening mammogram?
Not necessarily. A unilateral mammogram is focused on one breast and may be requested for diagnostic assessment of a specific concern. Screening recommendations are different and depend on individual risk factors and applicable clinical guidelines.
Do I need a doctor's referral for a breast ultrasound or unilateral mammogram?
The requirement may depend on the examination, clinical indication and service requirements. A healthcare professional can advise you on the appropriate next step before booking.
Can I have a breast ultrasound and mammogram if I have breast pain or a lump?
Breast pain or a lump may require medical assessment. Depending on your age, symptoms and clinical history, a healthcare professional may recommend ultrasound, mammography or other appropriate evaluation.
