Background & Accomplishments

The Division of Breast Imaging has been a center of excellence in mammography and multimodality breast imaging for more than 25 years. The Division performs approximately 40,000 procedures annually making it one of the most active breast imaging services in the country. Procedures include multimodality imaging using digital breast tomosynthesis (“3D” mammography), contrast-enhanced mammography, diagnostic and screening ultrasound (including automated breast ultrasound, or ABUS), breast MRI (full and abbreviated protocols). Imaging-guided breast interventions include core needle biopsies under ultrasound, stereotactic (digital breast tomosynthesis), contrast-enhanced mammography, MRI guidance and ultrasound guided cyst aspiration. We perform ultrasound-guided cryoablation of biopsy-proven fibroadenomas.

Our facilities include state-of-the-art equipment and are staffed by subspecialty radiologists, supported by highly trained technologists and nurses.

Complete breast care is offered in our Center City and South Philadelphia locations. Both locations are designated Breast Imaging Centers of Excellence by the American College of Radiology.
