Breast Ultrasound Center

The Breast Ultrasound Center is a leading radiology facility in Pasadena, CA, specializing in breast screening and the early detection of breast cancers that are most frequently missed with mammography. We've been providing women throughout the Los Angeles metro area the peace of mind they need so they can feel confident about their health and wellness. Established more than a decade ago by leading radiologist Kevin Kelly, the center uses the most advanced, state-of-the-art technology to detect cancerous lesions in their earliest and most treatable stages.  In clinical trials, SonoCiné was 300% more accurate than mammography at detecting small (1cm or less) invasive cancers. Women with dense breast tissue (DBT) or implants benefit most from SonoCiné because it is difficult to produce clear images using standard mammography and immaging techniques. DBT and implants DO NOT NEGATIVELY EFFECT your SonoCiné ultrasound screening. Dr. Kelly was one of the first radiologists in Southern California to use ultrasound as a detection and diagnostic tool for breast cancer, working tirelessly to develop the technology, creating the SonoCiné Automated Whole Breast Ultrasound (AWBUS) for accurate screening of women with dense tissue or breast implants. AWBUS was developed to detect the lesions that are most frequently missed with mammography, including small, invasive breast cancers in women with dense breast tissue or implants. The AWBUS technology is automated and standardized, which means it's not reliant on the the proficiency of the technician, and no radiation is used. The technology captures 100 percent of breast tissue, recording findings on video so they can be easily reviewed by the radiologist.In clinical trials, AWBUS was 300 percent more accurate than mammography at detecting invasive breast cancers that were 1 centimeter or less in diameter. Plus, AWBUS is convenient and pain-free – no compression of the breast tissue is involved.  In addition to the SonoCiné AWBUS ev
