Information for Patients from
the Breast Imaging and Diagnostic Service

The Breast Imaging and Diagnostic Service at Brigham and Women's Hospital specializes in mammography, breast ultrasound and interventional procedures such as cyst aspiration, needle localization and core biopsy. We believe that mammography should be a routine part of good health care for women.

Our developing web site, starting with this home page, seeks to:

  • provide information about the most up-to-date equipment and techniques,
  • describe the facilities and options available in general and specifically through the Mammography Service at Brigham and Women's Hosptial and its satellite sites,
  • address general questions about breast imaging and interventional procedures,
    and
  • dispel some of the myths that surround mammography today.

If you have comments or suggestions as you review our site, please contact us. Your ideas will help us make this a more useful resource for all women with questions about mammography.
