- Mammography“3D mammography” or Breast Tomosynthesis is the newest development in screening and diagnostic mammography. It is another tool designed to find, and help exclude early breast cancer. It is approved for all women who would be undergoing a standard mammogram, in both the screening and diagnostic settings, but is most useful for women with significant dense breast tissue. “3D mammography” complements standard 2D mammography and is performed at the same time with the same system. The total radiation dose is higher than 2D mammography, but it is still within the FDA safety standards for mammography. There is no additional compression required and the study takes a few more seconds in compression than a traditional mammogram.
- Interventional RadiologyThe benefits to having an Interventional Radiology Procedure as compared to surgery are significant. The procedures are less invasive, less painful, and safer than surgery. Patients experience shorter recovery times after an IR procedure than they normally would experience after surgery. The procedures are less expensive, and result in higher patient satisfaction than surgical procedures.
