                      acr-breast-imaging-coeBreast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. Lake Norman Regional Medical Center provides helpful services to educate women on breast health, and encourage self-exams and routine screenings. We utilize imaging technology that can detect breast cancer at the earliest stages, when treatment can be most effective. The combination of highly trained, caring technologists and advanced imaging technology allows us to deliver the highest quality of care.

                      acr_mammography Digital Mammography
                      Mammography is an X-ray exam of the breasts used to screen for or diagnose breast cancer. Lake Norman Regional Medical Center offers digital imaging technology for mammograms. With digital technology, radiologists can zoom in on particular areas or change brightness or contrast for even greater visibility, and results can be read immediately. It offers numerous benefits to women, including:

                      • Improved accuracy of screening exams, especially for women with dense breast tissue.
                      • Less radiation exposure.
                      • Superior image quality, reducing the need for repeat exams.

                      For your convenience the following patient information sheets are available to be completed prior to your appointment with the imaging department. Please print and fill out then bring the sheets with you to the imaging department at the time of your appointment.

                      acr_breast_mriBreast MRI
                      Along with mammography, breast MRI can be an effective diagnostic tool. Breast MRI is often used for women who are at greater risk of developing breast cancer or who have dense breast tissue or implants - cases in which mammography is less effective at detecting abnormalities. This technique offers a more comfortable experience for women, and is used to:

                      • Assess the extent of breast cancer.
                      • Determine the effectiveness of chemotherapy or radiation therapy during breast cancer treatment.
                      • Further evaluate abnormalities that were found during a mammogram or clinical exam.
                      • Provide additional detail for treatment planning.

                      acr_breast_ultrasoundBreast Utrasound
                      A breast ultrasound is often used to further evaluate an abnormality found during a mammogram. Ultrasound allows doctors to see the area closest to the chest wall, which can be difficult to see using mammography. This technology also helps doctors determine whether a breast lump is filled with fluid (a cyst) or is a solid mass.

                      acr_stereotactic_breast_biopsyStereotactic Biopsies
                      When a lump or abnormal area is detected during screening, a biopsy can determine whether cells are cancerous. Advanced imaging technology - such as MRI, mammography or ultrasound - can be combined with minimally invasive techniques to obtain tissue samples. Lake Norman Regional Medical Center offers digital stereotactic biopsies, and women can choose to be seated or lying down during the procedure for maximum comfort.

                      To schedule a mammogram or other screening exam, please call (704) 660-4920.

                      Breast Health Nurse Navigator

                      Lake Norman Regional Medical Center's Imaging Center offers women's services. The breast health nurse navigator assists patients with scheduling procedures as well as relaying results to ordering physicians, thus enabling patients to receive individualized attention and care. The breast health nurse navigator will follow an individual's progress during and after procedures to ensure their comfort and well-being. If an individual requires more than one exam while visiting the Lake Norman Regional Medical Center's Imaging Center, the navigator will coordinate procedures, thus reducing the amount of time spent waiting between procedures significantly. Our radiologists are board certified.
