Diagnostic Imaging Services for Women

ImageCare Centers provides a variety of New Jersey imaging services for women. Whether it is a routine checkup or imaging requested by a physician, our caring and professional staff will provide the services needed in a comfortable and welcoming setting. Our Northern New Jersey Women’s Imaging Services include mammography, breast ultrasound, elastography, bone density screening, and breast biopsies. We are dedicated to providing screening services that help women stay healthy and effectively diagnose and treat disease.

Directs a low dose X-ray through the breast so the patient is exposed to a very low radiation dose.

Newer technology provides the best chance for an early and accurate diagnosis. It uses high-powered computing to convert digital breast images into a stack of very thin layers, or “slices,” to create a three-dimensional mammogram. The radiologist can see through layers of tissue and examine areas of concern from all angles.

A breast ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to look inside the body to detect certain types of cancers, cysts, or masses. The ultrasound exam can determine whether a lump is a solid or a liquified mass such as a cyst. Studies show that having a breast ultrasound along with a mammogram can find more small cancers than a mammogram alone.

This non-invasive technology projects ultrasound waves into the breast to distinguish cysts from masses. Cysts are made up of fluid and do not require the same treatment as other masses. If the mass is solid, it will appear stiff compared to the surrounding tissue.

Also known as a DEXA scan, it measures bone density to diagnose osteoporosis or determine the risk of bone fractures. Getting a DEXA scan done in a timely manner can help slow, maintain, or even improve bone density loss, potentially preventing bone fractures.

After receiving a mammogram or breast ultrasound, the radiologist or another healthcare provider may recommend a Breast biopsy. This allows your physician to see what may be happening inside your breast tissue if your imaging procedures show areas of concern. The breast tissue will be numbed for this procedure so that it will be painless. The biopsy can be performed with a fine-needle aspiration (the least invasive) or a core-needle biopsy. Once removed, a pathology laboratory will analyze the breast tissue for evidence of abnormal molecular growth. Once your results are ready, your physician will review them with you and review the next steps, if necessary.

Ultrasound-Guided Breast Biopsy: An ultrasound-guided breast biopsy is a procedure where a small tissue sample is taken from a suspicious area in the breast using a needle guided by ultrasound imaging. This method is less invasive than a surgical biopsy and is used to help determine if a suspicious area is cancerous. 

Locations that perform Ultrasound-Guided Biopsies: Pink Paterson, Pink Flemington, Woodbridge, Morristown, Denville, and Jefferson

Stereotactic Breast Biopsy: A stereotactic breast biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to determine whether a breast abnormality is benign or cancerous. It helps diagnose breast abnormalities, including those not clearly visible on ultrasound, and may be performed while lying on the stomach or sitting upright.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a safe, non-surgical treatment that eliminates fibroids by blocking their blood supply, causing the fibroids to shrink.

Benefits of UFE include:

No surgery
General anesthesia not typically required.
Faster recovery compared to myomectomy or hysterectomy.
Same Day procedures in our state-of-the-art Outpatient center
Covered by most insurances.
