Breast health services we offer
Our team includes certified mammographers and radiologists who collaborate with your physician to interpret results.
Breast imaging services
Our friendly staff is focused on your convenience by ensuring routine mammograms are done in the quickest and most efficient manner possible.
All mammograms at the Women's Diagnostic Center are performed by mammographers certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). We are also recognized by the Food & Drug Administration as a Certified Mammography Facility. This means we uphold the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) by ensuring your safety and committing to the early detection of breast cancer.
Imaging exams and procedures we perform include:
- 3D mammography
- Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Breast ultrasound
- Digital mammography
- Bone densitometry studies, also called dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans
- Ultrasound and stereotactic breast biopsies
Our radiologists use computer-aided detection (CAD), which is an imaging software that helps our team identify breast cancer in its earlier stages. Following a mammogram, CAD is used to find any suspicious areas requiring another look.
Breast biopsies
If an abnormality is identified on a breast imaging exam, we may perform an alternate form of imaging or conduct a breast biopsy to determine if a lump is cancerous or benign. This is a simple procedure where a small tissue sample is removed from the suspicious area for further examination and diagnosis. We perform:
- Minimally invasive ultrasound-guided breast biopsies
- Needle breast biopsies
- Stereotactic (X-ray-guided) breast biopsies
- 3D tomosynthesis breast biopsy
Breast cancer care
If breast cancer is identified on a mammogram or other breast imaging exam, we have the resources to connect you to the expert cancer care you need. We have a dedicated cancer care patient navigator who is available to walk you through cancer treatment options and establish a plan of care. We also support you through recovery and survivorship with access to multiple support groups.
