Breast Care

We utilize highly sophisticated imaging technology that can detect breast cancer at the earliest stages, when treatment can be most effective. The combination of highly trained, caring technologists and the latest imaging technology allows us to deliver the highest quality of care.
Digital Mammography
Mammography is an X-ray exam of the breasts used to screen for or diagnose breast cancer. With the use of digital technology, radiologists can zoom in on particular areas or change brightness or contrast for even greater visibility, and results can be read immediately. It offers numerous benefits to women, including:
- Improved accuracy of screening exams, especially for women with dense breast tissue
- Less radiation exposure
- Superior image quality, reducing the need for repeat exams
Breast ultrasound (sonography)
A breast ultrasound is often used to further evaluate an abnormality found during a mammogram. Ultrasound allows doctors to see the area closest to the chest wall, which can be difficult to see using mammography. This technology also helps doctors determine whether a breast lump is filled with fluid (a cyst) or is a solid mass.
Stereotactic biopsies
When a lump or abnormal area is detected during screening, a biopsy can determine whether cells are cancerous. Advanced imaging technology such as MRI, mammography or ultrasound can be combined with minimally invasive techniques to obtain tissue samples. We offer digital stereotactic biopsies, and women can choose to be seated or lying down during the procedure for maximum comfort.
