Breast Biopsies
Breast biopsies are performed so that a physician can remove cells from a suspicious area of a patient’s breast. Patients needing a breast biopsy do not necessarily have cancer; however, undergoing a biopsy procedure is the only way to rule out cancer.
Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI imaging of the breast is used in specific circumstances with high risk patients or in patients with breast density that reduces the detection rate of other imaging techniques.
Mammograms
Screening mammograms are used for early detection of breast abnormalities. Diagnostic mammograms are used to further investigate a finding, such as a mass, found on the screening mammogram.
Breast Ultrasound
Breast ultrasounds are used in addition to others tests such as a mammogram or breast MRI in the assessment of breast tissue as part of screening and diagnostic imaging.
