Automated breast ultrasound, for women with dense breast tissue.
Sound Diagnostics offers the GE Invenia™ Automated Breast Ultrasound System (ABUS), a 3D imaging exam designed as supplemental screening for women with dense breasts. Self-pay price: $500, including interpretation by a dedicated breast imaging radiologist.
Why dense tissue matters
About 40% of women have dense breasts, which can make it harder for a mammogram alone to detect cancer. Dense tissue and cancer both appear white on a mammogram, which can mask small abnormalities.
ABUS adds a layer of screening by creating detailed 3D images of the entire breast without radiation. The GE Invenia ABUS is the first FDA-approved automated ultrasound system developed specifically as a supplemental screening exam for dense breast tissue. Used alongside mammography, studies have shown it can improve cancer detection compared with mammography alone.
Who should consider it
- Dense breast tissue reported on a mammogram
- A family history of breast cancer
- A desire for screening beyond mammography
- Being told you are at increased risk for breast cancer
What to expect
The exam is comfortable, non-invasive and uses no radiation. A specially designed scanner images the entire breast, creating a complete 3D dataset that a dedicated breast imaging radiologist interprets.
- State-of-the-art GE Invenia™ ABUS technology
- Dedicated breast imaging radiologist interpretation
- Convenient outpatient setting
- Affordable $500 self-pay option
ABUS complements your annual screening mammogram; it does not replace it. Continue routine mammography as recommended by your healthcare provider.
