Breast Imaging (Mammography)
Our Breast Imaging team provides advanced diagnostic and interventional imaging for breast health.
Our Approach
Each year, we perform more than 58,000 comprehensive breast imaging exams using the latest technology to support early detection and precise diagnosis. Our 15 fellowship-trained breast radiologists work closely with the multidisciplinary Weiser Family Center for Breast Cancer—including breast surgeons, pathologists, medical and radiation oncologists, and plastic surgeons—to deliver seamless, patient-centered care.
As part of the Rogel Cancer Center, a National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) member, we follow nationally recognized standards of excellence in breast cancer screening and diagnosis.
Our program combines:
- Advanced technology – Full-field digital mammography with tomosynthesis (3D mammography), high-resolution ultrasound, and 3-Tesla MRI with dedicated breast coils.
- Accessibility – A Mobile Mammography Unit brings screening services to communities with limited access.
- Research and education – Our physicians conduct ongoing research and train the next generation of breast imaging specialists.
- Quality assurance – Fully accredited by the American College of Radiology and compliant with the FDA Mammography Quality Standards Act.
Conditions
- Breast cancer (screening and diagnosis)
- Benign breast disease (cysts, fibroadenomas)
- Lymph node abnormalities
- Post-surgical or post-treatment follow-up
Testing
- Screening mammography (recommended annually for women age 40 and older)
- Diagnostic mammography (for new lumps or abnormal screening results)
- Breast ultrasound (to evaluate abnormalities or dense breast tissue)
- Breast MRI (for high-risk screening and detailed evaluation)
Treatments
- Tomosynthesis and stereotactic core biopsy – Uses digital mammography and computer guidance to collect tissue samples.
- Ultrasound-guided core biopsy – Targets breast or axillary (underarm) tissue using ultrasound imaging.
- Magseed and wire localization – Marks breast findings for surgical biopsy or lumpectomy.
- Fine-needle aspiration – Uses ultrasound to withdraw fluid or sample solid lesions.
