Ultrasound is based on sonic waves generated by piezoelectric effect. There is no radiation involved in ultrasound and hence it does not increase the risk of breast cancer. Mammography has minimal radiation, which would be less than the radiation one receives during a trans Atlantic flight. Hence that too does not in crease the risk of cancer. MRI is based on magnetic resonance imaging, which again has no Radiation hazard CT scan does have radiation risk multiple times that of Xray, but needs repeated scans to be significant enough.
