Breast Cancer Screening New Rochelle

Did your sister have breast cancer? Your mother? Your grandmother? If you have seen many family members suffer the devastating effects of this potentially deadly cancer, you may be at higher risk for the disease. Breast cancer screening is very important. At the Women's Imaging Center at Lawrence Hospital in the New Rochelle area, MRI/CT scans are offered in addition to the traditional mammogram.

Mammogram is a form of x ray that allows doctors to visualize the inside of the breast. It is extremely effective at early cancer detection and general guidelines suggest that women have mammograms every one to two years after 40, and then annually after age 50. For some women in higher risk groups, including those with family history, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be useful as an adjunct. This technology allows doctors to visualize breast masses earlier than mammogram. MRI may also be used for planning prior to breast surgery. Computerized Tomography, or CT, is another imaging technique that is used for pre surgical planning. Together, mammogram, CT, and MRI work to detect and fight breast cancer.

The Women%u2019s Imaging Center offers women a safe and comfortable place where their unique health needs may be met. In addition to mammogram, MRI, and CT, the center offers women bone density scans and guided breast biopsies.
