Breast Ultrasound


Dear Patients,

AAOBGYN is pleased to offer breast ultrasound services right in our office, conveniently performed alongside your mammogram. Recommended by the American College of Radiology, the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI), and the American Society of Breast Surgeons, this screening helps detect lesions that mammography alone may miss.

Most major insurance plans cover breast ultrasounds for patients with dense breast tissue; for others, we provide one simple, affordable cash price. All studies are interpreted together with your mammogram by the highly respected radiologists at Austin Breast Imaging—trusted experts in our community.
