Screening Recommendations
Digital Mammography
The newest innovation in breast screening, digital mammography reveals the finest detail, and can be digitally enhanced to help radiologists interpret images. This can dramatically improve findings and prevent miscalculations. Digital images can offer significantly better detail than film for women under the age of 50 or those with dense breast tissue. Digital mammography generally delivers a lower average radiation dose than film mammography. (more information)
Breast MRI
A supplemental test enabling doctors to further evaluate findings from mammography or other screenings, MRI provides detailed images of soft tissue, bone and other body structures without radiation. Solano Women’s Imaging MRI’s powerful magnetic field and radio waves are combined with computer aided diagnostics (CAD) to provide fast, reliable imaging results. The process captures multiple cross-section images and combines them to provide 3-dimensional pictures, allowing the images to be viewed at various angles on a computer. (more information)
MRI Guided Biopsy
A breast biopsy is performed to remove cells from a suspicious area and examine them under a microscope, providing assurance of knowing whether an abnormality should be treated. Physicians can use the advanced technology of Magnetic Resonance Imaging to guide biopsy of an abnormality that may be detected during a screening.
Breast Ultrasound
High-frequency sound waves create a picture of tissues inside the breast, including the area closest to the breast wall. A non-invasive tool, ultrasound is particularly helpful in evaluating whether a lump is fluid-filled or solid.
Bone Density Screening
Special x-rays measure bone mineral content to determine bone density and risk of developing osteoporosis. This information can help you and your doctor plan lifestyle changes and treatments to avoid further bone loss and optimize your health. This screening is recommended for all women over age 65 or those at risk for osteoporosis. (more information)
