Screening mammograms are used as a preventive measure for women who have no symptoms of breast disease. A screening mammogram usually involves two views of each breast. Diagnostic mammograms involve additional views of the breast and are used when an abnormality is found during a routine screening mammogram. This method is also used in patients who have complaints including breast mass, pain, or skin irritation.
Some of our services include:
- Breast MRI
- Stereotactic breast biopsy
- Magnetic resonance guided breast biopsy
- 3D mammography
- Digital mammography
