Automated Breast Ultrasound in Grande Prairie

When you are brought into our exam room, you will need to remove your top and lay down on the exam table. Lying down, our technologist will apply an ultrasound gel over your breast to help our ABUS device capture the clearest images possible.

The ABUS transducer will then be placed over the top of your breast using light pressure. ABUS uses high-frequency sound waves to create its images, therefore you will not be exposed to any ionizing radiation. Once one breast is examined, we will perform the same process on the other breast.

After the appointment, the radiologist will review all the images, compare them to any previous breast imaging you’ve had and send a report to your doctor within 1 business day. If we have urgent information, we will get in touch with your doctor on the same day.
