Low Dose 3D Mammography – At Chan Soon Shion Medical Center At Windber, our specialized medical imaging uses a low-dose x-ray system to examine breast tissue, and is designed to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases, including breast cancer, in women. Our new 3D mammography machines offer an advanced form of breast cancer care by capturing multiple images of the breast from different angles. These images are then reconstructed into a comprehensive three-dimensional image set, allowing breast cancer experts to identify abnormalities with greater precision. This technology plays a crucial role in proactive breast care, helping breast cancer specialists diagnose and treat breast cancer at the earliest possible stage.. It can also result in:
Breast Ultrasound – Breast ultrasound uses sound waves to produce detailed images of the internal structures of the breast. This imaging technique is primarily used to assist breast cancer doctors and specialists in diagnosing breast abnormalities that may have been detected during a mammography or a physical exam. It helps determine whether a lump is a cyst (a fluid-filled sac) or a dense mass, offering crucial insights for breast cancer treatment and care. At our breast cancer care center, this tool is a key component in providing comprehensive breast care and supporting early detection efforts.
Breast MRI – Breast MRI uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to produce highly detailed images of the internal structures of the breast. While it does not replace mammography or ultrasound, it is an important additional tool used by breast cancer experts to screen women at high risk for breast cancer, assess the extent of cancer following diagnosis, and further evaluate abnormalities detected during a mammogram. At our breast cancer care center, we integrate breast MRI into our comprehensive approach to breast cancer treatment, ensuring every breast cancer patient receives thorough and accurate care.
