Breast Imaging & Procedures
Please note: Screening mammograms can be requested directly by patients. However, all diagnostic imaging studies must be ordered by a physician.
Mammograms
Mammograms are breast images taken with low dose X-rays, and are effective routine screening tests.
Breast Ultrasound
A breast ultrasound exam is primarily performed to further evaluate the breast after a mammogram.
Breast MRI
Breast MRI is used as an additional screening tool for patients at high risk for breast cancer.
