Breast Imaging
Breast Imaging
Breast Imaging represents a specialized group of clinical imaging services within Radiology at U-M Health. We perform more than 58,000 comprehensive examinations every year utilizing the latest equipment available.
Our Approach
Our 15 distinguished radiologists deliver clinical care, engage in research, and educate the next generation of radiologists. The long-standing history of close collaboration with the multidisciplinary Breast Care Center team, including breast surgeons, pathologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and plastic surgeons, is a strength of our department. Breast Imaging is part of the Rogel Cancer Center which is a member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), an alliance of the world's 21 leading cancer centers.
In Breast Imaging, radiologists also review mammograms performed outside U-M Health. We strive to provide the highest quality breast imaging available and are fully accredited by the American College of Radiology, in compliance with the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services and the Food and Drug Administration's Mammography Quality Standards Act.
We also have a Mobile Mammography Unit to bring screening closer to those who do not have access.

How and why breast imaging is performed?
- Tomosynthesis and stereotactic core biopsy – uses digital mammography and computerized targeting to obtain samples of breast tissue through a tiny skin nick
- Ultrasound-guided core biopsy – uses high resolution ultrasound to obtain samples of tissue from masses in the breast and axilla (armpit) through a tiny skin nick
- Magseed and Wire localization – uses digital mammography or ultrasound to target breast findings for surgical breast biopsy, lumpectomy, and/or surgery in the axilla (armpit)
- Fine-needle aspiration – uses ultrasound guidance to aspirate fluid and/or biopsy solid lesions in the breast or lymph nodes in the axilla (armpit)
