· Breast Imaging Our mammography service provides the complete range of breast studies including high resolution, low-dose digital and conventional mammography, breast ultrasound, ultrasound guided core biopsies, needle localizations, and stereotactic biopsy.
MAMMOGRAPHY PATIENTS When you schedule your yearly mammography examination, it is extremely important that at the time of your examination, our radiologists are able to review your previous mammograms in order to perform a comparison. Please request old films from outside institutions, if your films were not taken here at Mount Sinai Radiology Associates. Please bring these films with you when you attend for mammography. Please be aware that if we do not have prior films for comparison there is a higher likelihood that you will be recalled for further imaging. Kindly wear loose clothing, preferably separate tops and bottoms. Do not use deodorant, powder or perfume under your arms. Make sure you have breakfast or lunch before you report for your mammography. Patients who are referred for diagnostic ultrasounds should have a correct requisition form from their referring physician. Please be aware that screening ultrasound examinations are not reimbursed by Medicare or most other insurance carriers. If your doctor orders this, you will have to pay out of pocket for this test. We appreciate your co-operation and look forward to be of assistance to you.
