Exams read by our Breast Imaging Specialists

​

• Screening Mammography – A screening mammogram is an annual exam performed as a preventative measure. It is recommended that all women over the age of 40 receive an annual screening mammogram.

• Diagnostic Mammography – A diagnostic mammogram is used to look more closely at a specific area of abnormality.

• Breast MRI – This type of exam is most often used to screen patients at high risk for cancer. Breast MRI also provides additional information that helps doctors evaluate abnormalities present on a screening mammogram.

• Breast Ultrasound – Helps doctors to take a closer look at breast lesions and determine if they are solid or fluid-filled.

 

Specialty exams/procedures performed by our Breast Imaging Specialists

​

• Breast Biopsy – In the event a suspicious area is identified through screening exams, the radiologist will order a biopsy of the area. This minimally invasive procedure takes a sample of the suspicious tissue, which is then sent off to a lab for further testing.  Breast Biopsy can be performed using Ultrasound, MRI or Stereotactic guidance.

• Tomosynthesis – Often referred to as 3D Mammography, this new technology creates a three dimensional picture of the breast using X-rays.  Tomosynthesis represents a huge leap forward in radiology’s ability to diagnose breast cancer in its earliest stages.
