Breast Cancer Testing Westchester, New York

You know about breast cancer, and you know you're supposed to get yearly mammograms. Despite this, you've never actually made an appointment for this safe and effective method of breast cancer screening. Lawrence Hospital in the Westchester, New York area has an Imaging Center, just for women. In addition to providing breast cancer testing in a warm and comfortable environment, the Women's Imaging Center offers Bone Density testing, Ultrasound, and the latest in guided breast biopsy technology.

Although breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women, screening methods such as mammogram and MRI have allowed for early diagnosis and more effective treatment. At the Lawrence Hospital Women's Imaging Center, women are offered mammography, breast ultrasound, and digital stereotactic biopsy. Mammography, which is the most commonly used screening test, is a type of x ray. Mammography allows doctors to detect breast masses while they are too small to feel on self exam. Once a mass has been detected on mammography or ultrasound, doctors may take a sample of the tissue in order to determine whether the mass is cancerous. Digital stereotactic biopsy allows for doctors to precisely target the mass for biopsy, with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.

The Women's Imaging Center offers cutting edge technology in a warm and comfortable environment. The staff are particularly attuned to issues surrounding women's health. Personal attention ensures that the needs of each patient, medical and otherwise, are fully addressed.

Services offered include the following

- Digital Mammography
