Services
3D Mammography (Tomosynthesis)
Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM)
CEM is an advanced breast imaging exam that combines traditional mammography with contrast dye. It’s helpful for evaluating abnormal mammograms, clarifying dense breast tissue, staging known breast cancers, and imaging patients who can’t have an MRI.
Breast Ultrasound
A breast ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of breast tissue and is often used as a follow-up to a mammogram, for dense breast tissue or when radiation isn’t recommended.
Breast MRI
A breast MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to take highly detailed breast images. It’s often recommended for dense breast tissue or high-risk patients.
Stereotactic Breast Biopsy
This minimally invasive procedure uses mammogram guidance to locate and sample a specific area of the breast for testing. It’s often used to check spots seen only on a mammogram, like tiny calcium deposits.
Contrast-Enhanced Stereotactic Breast Biopsy
This minimally invasive procedure combines traditional mammography with contrast dye to locate and sample a specific area of the breast for testing. It may be used when dense breast tissue or unclear images make other tests more difficult to interpret.
Ultrasound Guided Breast Biopsy
This minimally invasive procedure uses ultrasound imaging to locate and sample a specific area of the breast for testing. It’s often used to check lumps or changes found during a mammogram or physical exam.
MRI Guided Breast Biopsy
This minimally invasive procedure uses MRI imaging to locate and sample a specific area of the breast for testing. It’s helpful when a spot can’t be seen with other imaging or for patients at higher risk for breast cancer.
