Bone Density Scanīone density scanning, also called DEXA or bone densitometry is an enhanced form of x-ray that is used to measure bone loss.
It is used to get a clear picture of soft tissues, and can be helpful when diagnosing ovarian and uterine issues. The Women's Imaging Center offers ultrasound services, including pelvic ultrasound to help diagnose problems that can't be seen using traditional x-ray equipment. Talk with your doctor about whether a 2D or 3D mammogram is most appropriate for you. Even more important, 3D mammography can increase the early detection of invasive cancer. Because of the slices, 3D mammography can produce clearer images, which can reduce stressful callbacks for repeat screenings. While 2D mammography continues to be the standard of treatment for most women, some women may benefit from a 3D mammogram, including women with dense breasts. While most patients won't notice a difference between the two, 2D mammography takes traditional images from the top, bottom, and side, while 3D mammography creates slices of images, similar to a CT scanner. Services include traditional 2D mammography and 3D mammography, ultrasound, bone density scans, image guided breast biopsy, breast MRI, and a breast nurse navigator to guide you through your journey.Ĭall 1-57 To Schedule a Screening 2D and 3D Mammography The Women's Imaging Center at MountainView Regional Medical Center offers imaging services in a spa-like environment tailored to your needs.
