Procedures & Treatments
Screening Mammography
The American Cancer Society recommends that women have a mammogram annually starting at the age of 40.
Diagnostic Mammography
A diagnostic mammogram is performed for patients with a breast problem, such as a lump or pain, or for a patient whose screening mammogram may have been abnormal.
Breast Ultrasound
Screening ultrasound may be done for women at elevated risk of developing breast cancer.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
A breast MRI may be ordered for screening purposes in women who are atelevated risk for developing breast cancer, either because of a familyhistory of breast cancer or because they carry a gene mutation.
Image Guided Breast Biopsies
If a need for a biopsy arises, our staff members are able to perform a biopsy using stereotactic mammography, ultrasound, or MRI guidance.
