EJCH offers guided breast biopsy
|
Johns Creek – Emory Johns Creek Hospital is offering the latest technology in breast biopsy techniques, through MR guided biopsy. Performing a breast biopsy in real-time, guided by MR (magnetic resonance) imaging is an important advance in the diagnosis of breast cancer.
"Our radiologists are able to streamline the diagnostic process, and in many cases, it's possible to biopsy suspicious tissue that otherwise would have been very difficult to target," according to Dr. Joanne Biafore, breast imaging specialist at Emory Johns Creek. "There are times when an MR guided biopsy is preferred over a surgical biopsy because the area of concern isn't easily seen on an ultrasound or stereotactic biopsy."
"The addition of MR Guided Breast Biopsy is an important element of our already expansive Breast Imaging services," said Dr. Mary Saltz, chief radiologist at EJCH. "Our Breast Center is able to offer women comprehensive services for breast health, from screening mammograms, to advanced imaging procedures, the latest in surgical techniques , including conservation therapy, Mammosite Radiation therapy and reconstruction."
