Diagnosis
Stereotactic Guided Breast Biopsy
This alternative to surgical biopsy uses an image-guided needle to quickly extract tissue that can be examined and evaluated under a microscope by a pathologist.
Ultrasound Guided Breast Biopsy
Another alternative to surgical biopsy using an ultrasound image-guided needle to quickly extract tissue that can be examined and evaluated under a microscope by a pathologist.
MRI Guided Breast Biopsy
An alternative to surgical biopsy using an MRI image-guided needle to quickly extract tissue that can be examined and evaluated under a microscope by a pathologist.
Mammography
Mammograms are X-ray pictures of the breast that are effective for detecting breast cancer. A mammogram allows the doctor to have a closer look at changes in breast tissue that cannot be felt during a breast exam.
Breast MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a safe and painless test that provides pictures of organs and structures inside the body. It produces these images by using a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy. MRI does not use X-rays.
PET/CT
PET/CT scans are a type of nuclear medicine imaging. A PET and a CT scan are performed at the same time with the same machine, providing a more comprehensive image than each could produce alone. A PET/CT scan is used often to image the heart, brain, liver or other organs. It is one of the most effective ways to study cancer.
