Breast Care
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. Bayfront Health Seven Rivers provides helpful services to educate women on breast health, and encourage self-exams and routine screenings. We utilize imaging technology that may detect breast cancer at the earliest stages, when treatment can be most effective. The combination of caring technologists and imaging technology allows us to deliver quality care.
Breast Utrasound
A breast ultrasound is often used to further evaluate an abnormality found during a mammogram. Ultrasound allows doctors to see the area closest to the chest wall, which can be difficult to see using mammography. This technology also helps doctors determine whether a breast lump is filled with fluid (a cyst) or is a solid mass.
Stereotactic biopsies
When a lump or abnormal area is detected during screening, a biopsy can determine whether cells are cancerous. Advanced imaging technology - such as mammography or ultrasound - can be combined with minimally invasive techniques to obtain tissue samples. Bayfront Health Seven Rivers offers digital stereotactic biopsies, and women can choose to be seated or lying down during the procedure for maximum comfort.
