Breast Imaging

---

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. Lake Granbury Medical Center 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 Ultrasound
A breast ultrasound is often used to further evaluate and diagnose 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 or other breast imaging. This technology also helps doctors determine whether a breast lump is filled with fluid (a cyst) or is a solid mass and could be evidence of breast cancer.

Stereotactic Breast Biopsy
When a lump or abnormal area is detected during screening, a biopsy can determine whether cells are cancerous. Advanced imaging technology — such as MRI, mammography or ultrasound— can be combined with minimally invasive techniques to obtain tissue samples in order to complete a diagnosis. Lake Granbury Medical Center offers digital stereotactic biopsies, and women can choose to be seated or lying down during the procedure for maximum comfort.

3D Mammography
3D mammography (tomosynthesis) is a digital mammography option for some patients, particularly those with dense breasts, that allows physicians to examine breast tissue layer by layer. Instead of viewing all the complexities of breast tissue in a flat image, as with traditional 2D mammography, fine details are more visible and no longer hidden by the tissue above or below. This improvement in visualization often increases invasive cancer detection rates and reduces callback rates, thus reducing patient anxiety when called to return for additional imaging. Consult your physician to know if 3D mammography is the best option for you.

Solis Mammography at Lake Granbury Medical Center is dedicated to providing peace of mind about all aspects of the mammography experience. Solis provides a range of specialized breast health services including screening and diagnostic mammography (2D and 3D), ultrasound, biopsy and bone densitometry.

All breast exams are performed by experienced staff members committed to making your mammogram as comfortable as possible. The staff understands that a mammogram is an intimate exam, and they are trained to be gentle while getting the best possible image of your breast. Mammogram results are read by specialized breast imaging radiologists, and results are sent within 24 to 48 hours of appointment.
