Latest Technologies
We have the latest in screening and diagnostic imaging technologies:
- All digital screening and diagnostic mammography.
- Tomosynthesis. A special kind of mammogram that produces a 3-D image of the breast by using several low dose x-rays obtained at different angles. For tomosynthesis, the breast is positioned and compressed in the same way as for a mammogram but the x-ray tube moves in a circular arc around the breast, and the information is sent to a computer, which produces a focused 3-D image of the breast.
- Computer-aided detection (iCAD) mammography.–A system that helps our radiologists recognize subtle changes in breast tissue.
- Breast MRI. An additional screening tool reserved for women who are at high risk for breast cancer due to family history and/or a mutation in genes such as BRCA1 or BRCA2. Diagnostic breast MRI is offered as well.
- Breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI). A molecular breast imaging technique for identifying cancerous lesions in the breast, particularly in women who were previously challenging to diagnose.
- Whole-breast ultrasound. A adjunct to mammography for screening women with dense breast tissue.
- High-resolution breast ultrasound. A diagnostic tool that provides a picture of the breast tissue, including the area closest to the chest wall, which can be difficult to image through a mammogram alone.
- Ultrasound-guided core needle or fine-needle biopsy. An advanced, minimally invasive and virtually painless procedure that is used in place of surgical biopsy to determine if a tumor is cancerous.
- Stereotactic breast biopsy . An advanced biopsy system with a high degree of accuracy that is also a virtually painless alternative to surgery.
- Dexa scanning. Bone density testing.
