Northwest Medical Center, Plantation General Hospital, University Hospital and Medical Center, and Westside Regional Medical Center are your healthcare leaders which currently offer these cutting-edge services in their Imaging Departments.
Northwest Medical Center, University Hospital and Medical Center and Westside Regional Medical Center offer the most modern mammography equipment available to patients today. The Senographe® DS is a digital mammography system designed to help provide comprehensive care from screening and diagnosis to interventional procedures. The system has a patient-centric design and intuitive controls that allow the technologists who perform the exams to focus on the patients, making the mammography exam an easier and more comfortable experience. For the physician, it provides greater flexibility in viewing the exam and performing biopsies.
Plantation General Hospital offers the Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). They are able to provide images of the breast that allows physicians to better evaluate abnormalities detected in a routine mammogram. When a physician discovers an inconsistency in breast tissue, MRI can help provide a more detailed image of the area. The procedure highlights the soft tissue of the breast in fine sections not routinely see mammography or ultrasound. The Breast MRI is painless; the patient lies facedown with the breasts suspended freely into a cushion-like device surrounded by the MRI coil.
