BREAST IMAGING & INTERVENTIONS :

We habitat state of the art latest x ray mammography integrated with  3D  Tomosynthesis machine which is unique from other routine machines in providing more precise , high definition & sharp images helping us to detect pathologies in their budding stage (less than 1 cm). High resolution ultrasound is used in our department for diagnosis as well as for the interventions of breast lesions. Dedicated breast MR coil is used for patients refereed for Breast MRI to provide the patients with complete solution.

 

Our department provides following services

  • Full field digital mammography
  • 3 D tomosynthesis
  • High resolution breast ultrasound
  • MR Mammography
  • Stereotactic Biopsies & wire localization
  • Ultrasound guided biopsies, wire localizations & clip placements
  • Ultrasound guided ablation procedures - like microwave ablation.
  • Galactography
