Cost of breast ultrasound

The cost of breast ultrasound varies from hospital to hospital, and each hospital does not have the right to set its own prices. The medical fees of each hospital are jointly set by the local health administration and the price department according to the specific conditions of the area. Generally speaking, the cost of breast ultrasound is based on superficial organs, and generally costs around 80 to 100 yuan. Breast ultrasound can clearly show the anatomy of the breast and its surrounding tissues: nipple, skin, subcutaneous tissue, mammary glands, post-mammary gland fat and pectoralis major muscle. Breast ultrasound can better diagnose breast hyperplasia, various benign and malignant tumors of the breast, mastitis and other diseases. Moreover, breast ultrasound is important for the screening of early breast cancer. Ultrasound can be repeated several times without causing significant damage to a person’s body. Especially when a nodule or an occupying lesion is found in the breast, the ultrasound examination can clearly show the boundary, morphology, and surrounding conditions of the nodule as well as the internal echogenicity and the blood flow signal inside the nodule. For experienced ultrasonographers, these ultrasound findings can be used to make a preliminary diagnosis of the benignity or malignancy of a nodule. Even so, breast ultrasound is relatively inexpensive and accessible to the general public.
