Comprehensive breast imaging services include:
The use of a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to create detailed images of the breast tissue and any abnormalities that may present themselves.
The use of high frequency sound waves to produce imaging of internal structures of the breast to aid in the detection and diagnosis of breast tissue abnormalities.
A specific type of imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system to examine breasts and aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.
Tomosynthesis uses low dose x-rays to take mammogram images of the breast, and shows only a few layers of the breast at a time. Preliminary studies show higher cancer detection and lower false positives than full-field digital mammography (FFDM).
Magnetic resonance imaging is used to help guide the radiologist's instruments to the site of the abnormal growth. Tissue samples are then removed with a hollow needle (called a core biopsy).
A special mammography machine uses x-rays (mammograms) to help guide the radiologist’s instruments to the site of the suspicious imaging findings.
A procedure which uses ultrasound images to locate suspicious imaging findings, usually a breast mass. Small tissue samples are then removed using a fine needle to remove cells or a hollow needle (called a core biopsy.
A procedure used to guide the surgeon to the location of a breast mass too small or vague to feel accurately with the hand but needs to be removed and tested.
