What is Breast Imaging?

Breast Imaging focuses on the imaging and diagnosis of conditions affecting the breasts. The primary goal of breast imaging is the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, as well as the assessment of other breast-related issues. Timely screening is pivotal in improving the prognosis and results for those confronting breast cancer. Our breast imagers deliver compassionate care and maintain vigilance in detecting any changes in breast health. Every biopsy or localization procedure is meticulously conducted with a focus on minimizing discomfort and ensuring your utmost comfort throughout the process.

Our Breast Imaging Techniques

We provide a comprehensive suite of breast imaging services tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. From early detection to diagnostic accuracy, our services are designed to offer not only peace of mind but also detailed insights for effective treatment planning.

Mammography

Mammography is a specialized medical imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system to see inside the breasts, helping in the early detection of breast cancers, often before they can be felt. This service is a cornerstone of breast health, particularly recommended for women over 40 as part of their regular health check-up routine.

Tomosynthesis (3D Mammography)

Tomosynthesis, or 3D mammography, adds an additional layer of clarity to traditional mammography by capturing multiple slices of the breast from different angles, creating a layered 3D image. This method enhances the visibility of overlapping breast tissues, improving the detection rates of small breast cancers.

Breast Ultrasound

Breast ultrasound utilizes sound waves to produce images of the structures inside the breast. It is commonly used as a supplementary tool along with mammography to evaluate breast abnormalities detected during a physical exam or mammogram and to distinguish between fluid-filled cysts and solid masses.

Breast MRI

Breast MRI is a non-invasive procedure that uses powerful magnetic fields to produce detailed images of the breast tissue. It is particularly useful for high-risk patients and offers a higher degree of detail than other imaging options, making it valuable for examining complex cases.

Breast Biopsy

When imaging tests reveal a suspicious area in the breast, a biopsy is often necessary to determine whether the cells are cancerous. During a breast biopsy, a small sample of breast tissue is removed and examined under a microscope. This procedure is essential for diagnosing breast abnormalities and planning appropriate treatment.
