OSG

Onco-sonography (OSG) is a cutting-edge ultrasound technique used to evaluate breast lesions and abnormalities in real-time. This non-invasive imaging method provides detailed insights into breast tissue, distinguishing between benign and malignant growths. Dr. Ananya, a leading oncoplastic breast surgeon, recommends OSG for women who require a more detailed assessment after a mammogram or clinical examination.

Unlike mammography, which uses X-rays, OSG utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create images of breast tissue. This makes it an excellent option for younger women with dense breasts, pregnant women, or those who should avoid radiation exposure. The procedure is painless, radiation-free, and highly effective in guiding biopsies and monitoring treatment responses in breast cancer patients.

OSG plays a vital role in detecting small tumors that might not be visible on a mammogram. It is particularly useful in differentiating fluid-filled cysts from solid masses, helping doctors determine the next course of action. Dr. Ananya highlights that ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) or core needle biopsy can be performed simultaneously to obtain tissue samples for accurate diagnosis.

For women at high risk of breast cancer or those experiencing unexplained breast lumps, OSG serves as a crucial diagnostic tool. To learn more about how onco-sonography can benefit your breast health, schedule an appointment with Dr. Ananya.
