Providing patients with personalized, high-quality breast health evaluations
Find out about:
Overview
The VCU Department of Radiology’s breast imaging section provides patients with personalized, high-quality breast health evaluations. We are part of an interdisciplinary team at the VCU Massey Cancer Center that includes pathologists, surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic surgeons, nurses and geneticists — all with special training in breast cancer.
We are the first facility in Virginia with breast magnetic resonance imaging (breast MRI) American College of Radiology (ACR) accreditation, as well as Richmond, Virginia’s first breast imaging facility to earn the ACR Breast Imaging Center of Excellence designation.
Our breast imaging section offers a variety of imaging services and procedures to aid in the early detection of breast cancer and evaluation of related symptoms. Patients are priority, and we provide results for most biopsies within 24 hours.
Tomosynthesis (3-D mammography) is a relatively new technique that can be done as part of screening or diagnostic mammography. It is an x-ray study of the breast that takes thin image slices through the breast tissue so it can be evaluated more thoroughly.
