At the Seattle Breast Center at Northwest Hospital, we believe that every woman has a better chance of fighting breast cancer if she understands the risk factors, how to detect the disease, and the options for treatment. The Center offers a variety of services and resources for our patient community, from screening and prevention services to support groups and education.

Our comprehensive care begins with state-of-the-art, digital screening mammograms, utilizing the latest technology including a Computer-Assisted Detection (CAD) system that aids our radiologists in the early detection of breast cancer. If follow-up studies are needed, our board-certified breast imaging physician specialists may recommend various procedures based on the patient’s individual situation. These studies include:

• Screening mammograms.
• Diagnostic mammograms.
• Breast ultrasound.
• Stereotactic guided needle biopsy.
• Ultrasound guided needle biopsy.
• Ultrasound guided excisional breast biopsy.
• Breast MRI and MRI guided needle biopsy.
  The Seattle Breast Center at Northwest Hospital was the first non-academic facility in the Seattle area to offer breast MRI biopsy.
• Ultrasound guided cyst aspirations.
• Pre-surgical wire localization.
• Ductography.
• DEXA Bone Densitometry.
