Breast Ultrasound: ¥15,000
All prices include tax.
Aika Breast Clinic is a breast specialty clinic in Ashiya, Hyogo, near Kobe and Nishinomiya.
Our female breast specialist provides consultation and imaging examinations, including mammography and breast ultrasound.
After your examination, your doctor will explain the findings and discuss whether any further examination or follow-up is recommended.
We believe that a breast checkup should be more than simply taking images.
We want you to leave knowing what your results mean and what to do next.
We recommend combining mammography and breast ultrasound because the two examinations provide different types of information.
Mammography
Mammography is particularly useful for detecting microcalcifications and changes in the structure of breast tissue.
Breast Ultrasound
Ultrasound is useful for detecting small breast masses and evaluating their characteristics.
Using both examinations can provide complementary information about the breast.
Breast ultrasound uses sound waves to examine the breast tissue.
It is particularly useful for evaluating small masses and their characteristics.
This option may be suitable for patients who specifically wish to have an ultrasound examination.
Your doctor will review your symptoms, medical history and previous breast examinations before performing the examination.
The appropriate examination will be performed based on your circumstances and the type of screening you choose.
Your doctor will review the images and explain the findings to you after the examination.
You can ask questions and discuss any concerns you may have.
If an abnormality requires further evaluation, we will explain the recommended next steps.
When appropriate, we can also coordinate care with specialist hospitals in the region.
We understand that receiving medical care in another country can be stressful.
Our doctor can communicate with patients in English during the consultation and examination.
If you require an English medical report or copies of your imaging data, please let us know when making your appointment.
Additional fees may apply.
