Mammography
Mammography is a technique that uses X-ray technology to detect and diagnose tumors of the breast. There are two different kinds of mammograms: screening and diagnostic. Screening mammograms are used to detect tumors and calcifications that are too small to be felt. During a screening mammogram, a technician will take two or more X-ray pictures of each breast. If you show signs or symptoms of breast cancer, a diagnostic mammogram can be used to get a more detailed picture of the breast. A diagnostic mammogram is immediately evaluated by a radiologist, so you’ll receive your results during your appointment.
3D mammography uses CT technology to take multiple pictures of the breast in thin sections. These images are compiled to create a detailed digital image of the breast. Women with dense breast tissue may benefit from 3D mammography as this technology gives us a clearer and more detailed picture of the breast.
Mammography can detect breast cancer in its earliest stages when it’s most treatable. A yearly screening mammogram is recommended for women 40 and older. Learn more about mammography.
Nuchal Translucency
Used in conjunction with ultrasound technology, this screening test is performed in the first trimester of a pregnancy and can check for the risk of certain conditions such as Down syndrome, chromosome abnormalities and heart problems.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound technology uses sound waves to provide images of structures inside your body. This noninvasive technique is commonly used during pregnancy to help your physician monitor the progression of your pregnancy and development of your baby. Ultrasound is also used in evaluating and diagnosing many gynecological conditions.
