Breast MRI

Indications for Breast MRI include:
• Screening for patients at high risk
• Screening for asymptomatic BRCA gene carrier
• Evaluation of implant integrity
• Diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer

Breast Biopsy

Two available methods of minimally invasive breast biopsy:
• Stereotactic: preferred when suspicious microcalcifications are present
• Ultrasound Guided: preferred for masses

Advantages of these methods include:
• Tiny incision – no sutures necessary
• May return to work same day
• Benign results save patient from general anesthesia and surgical biopsy
• Subspecialized board certified radiologists
• Dedicated patient care coordinator
• Coordinated care with surgeons and oncologists
• Same day biopsy available
