Breast Ultrasound All About Ducts & Ductal Pathology | Registry Review Series

Breast Ultrasound Let's explore milk ducts and ductal pathology! Part of Sonography Minutes' ARDMS Breast Ultrasound registry review series. Covers lactiferous duct anatomy including ductules, intralobular ducts, interlobular ducts, extralobular ducts, lactiferous sinus, and collecting ducts. Learn where milk is made in the breast and how it is transported to the nipple. Ductal pathology, including ductal ectasia, plasma cell mastitis, intraductal masses, and ductal cancers are explored. Methods of ductal tumor expansion (duct extension and branch pattern) are revealed. Discover the normal ultrasound appearance and size of milk ducts and which Breast tissue type can be found directly behind the nipple.

Hi! I'm Michelle Macauley. Welcome to my channel Sonography Minutes!
I've been a Sonographer for over 15 years and I also teach Ultrasound at the College level, where I've built a Breast Ultrasound course for both Mammographers and Sonographers.
My specialty is Breast Ultrasound, though I have experience in multiple types of Ultrasound.
I hold ARDMS certifications in Breast, Abdomen, and OBGYN, and I'm also an RVT (Registered Vascular Technologist).
Join me as I cover all things Ultrasound!
