ABUS: Automated Breast Ultrasound

Nearly 40% of women have dense breast tissue, which can make it more challenging to detect cancer with a mammogram alone. Dense tissue and tumors both appear white on a mammogram, which can cause cancers to be hidden or missed. That’s where Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) comes in. ABUS is specifically designed to improve cancer detection in women with dense breasts by providing a more transparent, complete image.

This quick, comfortable scan can be a decisive next step in your breast health journey. The resources below will give you the confidence you need to understand the treatment plan that is right for you. Download the ABUS Patient Guide and talk to your doctor today to determine whether or not ABUS is right for you.
