Breast Imaging

Breast imaging radiologists are highly skilled in the diagnosis of all aspects of breast disease. Through digital mammography, these experienced observers are intent on identifying breast cancer in its earliest stages. Breast imagers direct and interpret the further evaluation of mammography or clinically suspicious lesions with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). When appropriate, they perform a variety of minimally invasive biopsy procedures to complete the diagnostic evaluation of suspicious breast lesions with the greatest degree of patient comfort and safety, eliminating the need for surgery for benign lesions. Breast imaging radiologists work closely with their surgery, oncology, and pathology colleagues to provide cohesive patient care.
