Did the doctor explain why she thought an ultrasound is better than a traditional mammogram? An ultrasound bounces a signal off the tissue, creating a graph that would show a mass, if there is one. Perhaps this is a more comfortable method of examination?

Here's some information on breast ultrasounds from the Radiology Information site.
