Referral-free, advanced imaging with Elastography - what traditional, automated, & 3D ultrasound can’t see. Only at RadiantView.
“Preventative, accessible, & better technology”
At RadiantView™ Wellness Ultrasound, we’re bringing advanced breast imaging directly to women who want to be proactive about their health. Unlike other screening facilities, we offer Breast Ultrasound with Elastography- a state of the art advanced technology that evaluates tissue stiffness and provides additional information beyond conventional ultrasound, even 3D automated ultrasound. RadiantView™ is the only dedicated preventative ultrasound screening center in all of Orange County offering this technology as part of our breast screening exams, and we do not require a doctor’s order!
Whether you’re seeking supplemental imaging for dense breast tissue, looking for radiation-free options, or simply want greater insight into your breast health, our goal is to make high-quality preventative imaging accessible—without insurance barriers or physician referrals required.
We also offer thyroid and pelvic ultrasounds, providing a more complete picture of your health. In our calming, spa-inspired facility, your care is centered around comfort, clarity, and peace of mind without the hassle of waiting on referrals.

Advanced Ultrasound: Elastography
“RadiantView™ is the only referral-free clinic in Orange County offering state of the art advanced breast ultrasound with Elastography.”
Standard 3D automated ultrasound (also known as ABUS) create a picture of shape and appearance only—is it round, is it irregular, does it have clear edges? Elastography adds an important layer of insight by measuring how soft or firm a lump feels—information traditional imaging, ABUS, and even QT ultrasound can’t capture. Generally, cancerous lumps tend to be firmer, while benign (non-cancerous) tissue is softer. By evaluating tissue stiffness in real time, Elastography helps providers see beyond the visual appearance of a mass.
This matters because stiffness offers clues about how concerning a finding may be. A soft result on Elastography can help avoid unnecessary biopsy, follow‑up, or worry in patients. And if a lump has increasing stiffness or changes over time, it may prompt closer evaluation. A mass can present with all the classic features of a benign lump, yet still be malignant. In these cases, Elastography may be the only imaging technique capable of detecting it. There can be many false positives in ultrasound, and this technology eliminates that gray area of guesses.
This functional information boosts physician diagnostic confidence, supports more informed decisions, and helps tailor care. The test is painless, radiation‑free, and performed during your ultrasound. There are currently two forms of Elastography on the market, and our facility carries both! That way you can feel confident you’re getting clearer answers.

Above image: Both masses (dark grey) on the left look relatively similar. Both nodules show suspicious sonographic features typically associated with a malignant finding: taller-than-wide orientation and shadowing. However, with the help of elastography, the stiffness mapping reveals:
Top right: the red indicates firm, concerning tissue which was confirmed to be malignant.
Bottom right: the image shows green, softer tissue which was confirmed to be benign.
The bottom patient avoided an unnecessary biopsy.
Advanced Breast Ultrasound & Its Benefits
Breast ultrasound is an excellent tool for women who are interested in holistic health and preventative breast care for several important reasons. It is a non-invasive imaging method that provides a detailed view of breast tissue, helping to identify potential areas of concern early—often before symptoms appear or changes become noticeable.
This technology allows us to see detailed differences within the tissue, such as distinguishing between solid and cystic masses, evaluating vascularity, and assessing margins and borders; important details that help guide diagnosis and follow-up care.
Ultrasound is especially helpful for women with dense breast tissue, implants, or prior breast surgery. These factors can limit what mammography shows while ultrasound offers clearer visualization in these areas. By using sound waves instead of radiation, breast ultrasound allows for gentle, repeat imaging without added exposure concerns.
What is breast density and why does it matter?
About 1 in 2 women have “dense” breast tissue. Dense breasts contain more fibroglandular tissue and less fatty tissue. This is extremely common and completely normal. On a mammogram, dense tissue is white. However, masses on mammography can also look white. This can make small abnormalities harder to see. Having very dense tissue can make mammograms less sensitive and harder to detect small cancers early.
Ultrasound gives real-time cross-sectional images and can evaluate a solid or fluid filled mass, its margins, shape, and internal structure-features useful for distinguishing benign from suspicious lesions.
Adding ultrasound to mammography increases cancer detection in dense breasts because mammography sensitivity falls as density rises, while ultrasound remains clear through dense tissue. If you have density, are looking for radiation-free options, or simply want greater insight into your breast health, ultrasound is an excellent and painless option.
On the top left image, the patient’s high breast density prevents the cyst from showing on the mammogram.
On the right, the cyst is clearly visualized on ultrasound as a black ovular structure.

Introductory questions
-
All exams are reviewed by a board-certified radiologist who provides a detailed report. Reports are available within 1–3 business days.
Please note that we do not have a radiologist on site.
While our ultrasound technologist is highly skilled in conducting the scan, they cannot provide diagnostic information during your visit. Only the radiologist can diagnose.
-
No, we do not currently accept insurance, which is an intentional choice, to make your experience simpler and stress-free. By offering out-of-pocket services, we eliminate the delays, referral requirements, and scheduling hurdles often associated with insurance-based care. This allows you to book your screenings quickly and on your terms!
-
Absolutely! Although we are not affiliated with an insurance company or hospital, your ultrasound is interpreted by a licensed board-certified radiologist, and the official report and images can be kept in your medical records just like any other imaging study.
Your provider may request the DICOM images of your exam. To release records by email, please provide your physician’s contact information at the time of service, or have your provider contact our office directly at (714) 371-8047 or by email at results@radiantviewultrasound.com. We may also fax the results to them if they request.

Yes — at RadiantView, we offer elastography, an advanced ultrasound technique that measures how stiff or soft tissue is. Benign findings tend to be softer, while areas of concern tend to be firmer. This extra layer of information helps physicians evaluate findings with more confidence, which can mean fewer unnecessary biopsies, follow-ups, and less worry for patients. Compared to all other ultrasound methods, including 3d, automated, and QT ultrasound, elastography cuts down on the 'gray area' of guesswork by giving a clearer picture of what's actually going on. And like the rest of your ultrasound, it's completely painless and radiation-free — performed during the same visit.
We are the only screening facility in all of Orange County to carry this technology!
-
Absolutely! Ultrasound is ideal for women who have a moderate to high amount of dense tissue because it doesn’t not obscure our imaging as it does with mammography. We can also see the differences in masses; if something is solid or fluid filled, if a mass has vascularity, and with our advanced technology, we take it even a step further and can see what masses are made up of.
