Скачать или смотреть Can I get an ultrasound instead of a mammogram?

We get it: mammograms can be uncomfortable for some. But can you skip the breast-smooshing and just opt for a pain-free ultrasound instead?

According to Northwell radiologist, Dr. Nina Vincoff, a mammogram can pick up cancers that an ultrasound alone cannot. So unfortunately, the answer is no. She explains why this in-depth scan is always a must.
