Breast Ultrasound

Breast ultrasound is used to examine breast abnormalities found during a mammography or clinical exam.  It is typically used to determine if a biopsy is needed and can also be used for women with breast density thickness over 50 percent, helping to differentiate tissues in the breast and find abnormalities that may not be seen on a mammogram. 

Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI of the breast is typically used in conjunction with a mammography or ultrasound.  The MRI uses magnets and radio waves to produce detailed three-dimensional images of breast tissue. 

Digital Stereotactic Biopsy

A stereotactic biopsy is a procedure that uses mammography to precisely identify and biopsy an abnormality within the breast.  This procedure is typically done when a radiologists sees a suspicious abnormality on your mammogram or ultrasound.
