What is breast imaging?
Breast imaging can help detect breast cancer in both men and women at the very early stages – often two years before a lump or other symptom becomes noticeable to a patient or their practitioner. In addition, breast imaging is a diagnostic tool used by practitioners to:
- Assess the cause of breast symptoms such as lumps, tenderness or nipple discharge
- Identify the type, location and stage of breast cancer
- Determine the results of chemotherapy
- Evaluate the integrity of breast implants
MIC is Committed to Excellence in Breast Imaging
MIC’s technologists and radiologists specialize in breast imaging and offer a full range of services in our clinics:
- Screening and diagnostic mammography using advanced Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT)
- Breast ultrasound exams for women with dense breast tissue using the new Automated Breast Ultrasound System (ABUS) or hand-held ultrasound to supplement DBT mammography.
- Diagnostic breast ultrasounds to check results from a mammogram or to screen women who are pregnant.
- Breast MRI to capture very detailed images with our 3T MRI scanner to supplement mammograms and ultraosund.
- Breast interventions such as image-guided biopsies or cyst aspiration to further explore any abnormalities found during these exams.
