We offer the ability to get both your mammogram and bone density screenings during the same visit, with the low wait times you’ve come to expect.

Digital Mammography

We’ve taken the routine out of routine care by making our women’s services even better. We’ve added the region’s latest digital mammography technology to our women’s services. This means our mammograms are faster, provide more detailed images, require fewer total exposures and eliminate the time needed to develop films. This allows us to get results to your physician more quickly. And our computer-aided detection (CAD) system further enhances your mammogram, identifying areas of potential concern so that Radiologists can determine if there is a need for additional imaging tests or a biopsy. For greater comfort, we use FDA-approved MammoPads®. These soft foam pads help ease the discomfort some women feel during the compression necessary for a quality image.

Stereotactic Breast Biopsy

 Stereotactic Breast Biopsies involve the use of a needle, rather than a large incision, to biopsy suspicious lesions in the breast.  This form of biopsy eliminates the need for certain surgical biopsies resulting in less anesthesia and less time out of work. In addition, Highlands's Stereotactic Breast Biopsy is done using our new digital technology, making it quicker and more accurate than the standard film x-rays used in the past.

Bone Densitometry

  We provide bone densitometry which uses x-rays to measure how many grams of calcium and other bone minerals are packed into a segment of bone. Doctors use this test to determine if you have, or are at risk of osteoporosis.

  

Interventional Radiology

Interventional Radiology (abbreviated IR or sometimes VIR for vascular and interventional radiology) is a subspecialty of radiology in which minimally invasive procedures are performed using image guidance. Some of these procedures are done for diagnostic purposes while others are done as treatments. Images are used to guide tiny instruments like catheters through the blood vessels or other pathways to precise locations in the body. Interventional procedures often replace surgical procedures, and usually don’t require general anesthesia, which reduces recovery time.
