Hi,
A radiologist would usually have an idea about the imagery that mammogram and US have shown.Usually a BIRADS score is given to determine if the lumps seen has to be investigated further.If there is a lump or lumps that look suspicious,a biopsy might be needed because this test, is the only way to know for sure the nature of these lumps.I hope that your results will be favorable.Best wishes and good luck
