Over 2 million breast cancer survivors are alive in the U.S. today.
While breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, more cancer deaths occur from lung cancer.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women ages 20-59 years, a fact that supports the importance of screening mammography.
Our state-of-the-art equipment, full field digital mammography, provides comprehensive breast imaging services. We strive to be sensitive to our patients and their needs while providing a high level of mammography expertise from our radiologists and staff.
Ffull field digital mammography offers improved visibility of the breast, especially in women with dense breast tissue. Unlike traditional film mammography, full field digital mammography images can be viewed within seconds by the technologist for technical adequacy so that the patient spends much less time getting her study done.
In our new center, we can provide comprehensive breast imaging services including mammography, ultrasound, MR and imaging guided biopsies (using stereotactic ultrasound).
