Breast Cancer Screening and Diagnosis

Each of our imaging specialists have advanced training in breast imaging and only interpret breast images, providing them with laser-focused expertise.

• 3D Mammograms with same-day results: Also called digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), this technology is more sensitive than conventional 2D mammography for detecting breast cancer, especially for women with dense breasts and even for women with fatty breasts.
• Breast MRI: This highly sensitive imaging is sometimes used in conjunction with mammography to screen women who have an elevated risk of breast cancer.
• Breast Ultrasound: We use sound waves to image the breast and provide additional screening information.
• Breast biopsies and timely results: If your breast imaging exams indicate that you need an ultrasound-guided biopsy, we can often provide a same-day biopsy.
• Consultations and Second Opinion: If you had a screening or diagnostic mammogram at another facility, you can seek an additional assessment, biopsy, consultation or second opinion with our team of radiologists, surgeons and pathologists.
• Genetic counseling: Our high-risk breast cancer program provides risk assessment and genetic testing for genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 so we can design follow-up and support care that is specific to your needs.
• Contrast Enhanced Mammography: An advanced imaging technology that combines the benefits of high-resolution 3D mammography with functional imaging performed using a contrast agent. This form of mammography provides information about a tumor’s blood supply, which helps to improve breast cancer detection and imaging accuracy. This technology will allow women with dense breasts, personal or family history of breast cancer, genetic mutations, an abnormal mammogram result, concerning symptoms, or other conditions that increase breast cancer risk. The technology offers an advanced imaging alternative for women who cannot have breast MRI.
