Digital Mammography
Mammography is an X-ray exam of the breasts used to screen for or diagnose breast cancer. Northwest Medical Center Bentonville offers digital imaging technology for mammograms. With digital technology, radiologists can zoom in on particular areas or change brightness or contrast for even greater visibility, and results can be read immediately. It offers numerous benefits to women, including:
- Improved accuracy of screening exams, especially for women with dense breast tissue.
- Less radiation exposure.
- Greater image quality, reducing the need for repeat exams.
Ultrasound Breast Biopsy
Breast biopsy is performed to remove cells from a suspicious area in the breast to determine a diagnosis. Image-guided biopsy is performed when the abnormal area in the breast is too small to be felt, making it difficult to locate.
An ultrasound biopsy uses a special machine with sound waves to help guide the instruments to the site. The result is a shorter examination time that greatly improves patient comfort and convenience.
Don’t get scared. Get checked.
