WHAT WE TREAT
Women’s Imaging Services
When it comes to your most important health needs, it’s crucial to have a provider you can trust. Our radiologists and care team are exceptionally skilled and experienced in providing each patient with the highest quality of personalized care. Our spectrum of women’s imaging services covers everything from preventative screening to diagnostic imaging and minimally-invasive procedures.

Preventive Care
Preventive breast care, such as routine screening mammograms, are crucial as they can help detect breast cancer at an early stage, when it is most treatable. This leads to better outcomes for patients. Screening mammograms can help monitor changes in the breast tissue over time, and identify masses, microcalcifications, or subtle architectural changes, which may require additional evaluation.
Abnormal Findings
If an abnormality is detected on a screening mammogram or if a patient presents with a breast complaint, then, diagnostic mammographic views, ultrasound, or MRI will be requested for a “closer look”. The diagnostic imaging tools we choose will depend on many factors, such as breast tissue density, personal risk factors, or family history. The radiologist or your referring clinician can advise which exam would be right for you.
UltrasoundsDiagnostic Testing
A biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small sample of tissue is removed for microscopic examination. Biopsies are used to distinguish benign (non-cancerous) versus malignant (cancerous) cells. Breast Biopsies may be performed under Ultrasound, Stereotactic, or MRI guidance. Other organs such as the Thyroid may also be easily biopsied. At The Women’s Imaging Center, we offer the most advanced biopsy procedures available, including:
Bone Density & Osteoporosis
We use advanced, Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) to measure your bone density. DEXA uses low dose X-ray from different angles projected at bones in the spine, hip, or wrist to determine the density or mass of the bone. Other names for this test are Bone Mineral Density (BMD) or Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
