Breast Imaging
Radiology Consultants offers Screening and Diagnostic Mammography for the detection of breast cancer. The group also provides Breast Ultrasound as well as Ultrasound-Guided Biopsies and Cyst Aspiration. Digital Mammography is now available through Alegent Lakeside Hospital. This new technology allows for acquisition of digital images immediately without developing film. This leads to faster appointment, less call backs, and quicker results. Most importantly, Digital Mammography allows for better visualization of soft tissue and, therefore, earlier detection of breast cancer.Finally, Breast MRI with a dedicated breast coil is now available at Alegent Lakeside, Bergan Mercy, and Mercy Hospitals. Women at high risk of breast cancer or who have special breast issues may benefit from the added soft tissue resolution from Breast MRI.
