Mammography and Breast Imaging
Diagnostic Breast Imaging Services
If a screening mammogram shows a lump, we perform additional imaging to learn more about it. There are many types of breast growths, including cysts and fibroadenomas. Not all of them are cancerous or require treatment.
Our advanced imaging services are available on short notice. This availability helps you find out quickly whether the lump is noncancerous or something that requires further investigation.
Diagnostic breast imaging services include:
- Breast ultrasound uses radio waves and technology to produce images of structures within your breast. We often use it to determine whether a lump is a fluid-filled cyst or solid mass.
- Automated whole-breast ultrasound is an additional screening technique for women with dense breast tissue who are not experiencing cancer symptoms. It produces images of layers of breast tissue, giving our experts detailed views that are not available with traditional mammograms.
- Breast MRI detects areas of high blood flow, which can be a sign of a cancerous growth. We use MRI as an additional screening tool in people with a higher risk of breast cancer and individuals with breast implants.
Results of these studies are available shortly after the test is complete. One of our breast radiologists reads the report and provides their interpretation before you leave our clinic.
