As you embark on your pregnancy journey, you're probably thinking that your ultrasound test is exciting -- but pretty straightforward. It's just a procedure that most doctors recommend to assess your and your baby's prenatal health, right? Yes, but it can also determine many important factors of a pregnancy: how the baby is developing, how far along your pregnancy is, or if any congenital abnormalities are present. Furthermore, there are a variety of ultrasound tests that you can undergo depending on your personal circumstances, so it's important to know the differences. By arming yourself with the proper knowledge, you'll be ready to make the right decision with your doctor.

A woman’s risk of developing breast cancer is significantly affected by the density of her breasts. Most breast cancers occur in women with dense breasts, and the ability of mammography to detect breast cancer diminishes as breast density increases. We know from experience at Mercy Imaging, and from multiple studies, that we can find breast cancers in women with dense breasts missed on mammography using a new, FDA cleared, Automated Whole Breast Ultrasound Screening (AWBUS) examination offered at Mercy Imaging.
