STATE-OF-THE-ART IMAGING
Imaging Department
As part of our commitment to offering comprehensive care for women, most scans or studies that are indicated based on your exam can be performed in our office. The luxury of having our own state-of-the-art imaging equipment is that you don’t leave our offices with a referral for imaging, which may take weeks to schedule. Instead, we are often able to schedule you right away, allowing us to begin diagnostic testing and quicker reach diagnosis and treatment.
3D Mammography
Combining multiple X-rays of the breast to create a three-dimensional picture of the breast, 3D mammograms offer the gold standard in breast cancer detection. Beyond offering the best, our Mammography Suite was designed and decorated to feel like a luxury spa. We understand the discomfort that a mammogram can present, both physically and emotionally, and we hope that the environment we have created will help ease your tension. *ACR Accreditation Seal* The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field.
If your provider noticed something on your breast exam, or you are having complaints, we offer same day breast imaging, when possible, so you don't have to wait and have to suffer from the mental anguish of the unknown!
ULTRASOUND
Sounds waves are used to create images of the pelvic structures, including the uterus and ovaries, along with breasts, kidneys, and other soft tissue areas. These images allow the physician to identify abnormalities or causes of symptoms.
BONE DENSITy TESTING
A DEXA scan is a specialized X-ray that is used to measure the density of bone. It usually takes measurements of the lower spine and both hips. This allows us to screen for and manage conditions due to low bone density, including Osteoporosis, which can put women at risk for bone fractures.
