乳房成像

UCSF乳腺成像 offers a full spectrum of imaging techniques for detecting and diagnosing breast cancer and related cancers, using the most advanced equipment. 我们的服务 range from digital mammograms to breast MRIs and ultrasounds to image-guided procedures, such as taking tissue samples, removing fluid and locating areas of concern before a surgical biopsy. (See the complete list below of available imaging services. Not all services are available at every location.)

Our record as a world-renowned breast imaging program spans 30 years. Speed of diagnosis is a distinguishing feature, supported by the prompt reporting of breast imaging results. (Results are available in MyChart or by request from the UCSF影像图书馆.) We use 100 percent full-field digital mammography, which has been shown to detect cancers that were missed using older technologies and uses less radiation than analog mammography.

Specialized nurse navigators

Our nurse navigators are registered nurses with special training in breast imaging and breast care. They serve as your primary point of contact and personal advocate from the time an abnormality is found through diagnosis. Your nurse navigator provides personalized education, 护理协调, and support to both you and your family.

Our nurse navigator services include:

• Providing breast cancer risk-reduction counseling and screening recommendations
• Explaining your imaging results and guiding you through the recommended next steps
• Helping you prepare for and recover from biopsy procedures
• Informing you about your biopsy results and recommended follow-up care
• Discussing breast cancer pathology (specifics on a particular cancer and how it tends to progress) and providing an overview of treatments
• Arranging for referrals to breast health specialists, genetic counselors and social workers

To contact our nurse navigators, please call (415) 502-4595 or email (电子邮件保护).

得到你的结果

A radiologist will review your images and write a report. When finalized, the report and your images will be available in MyChart, UCSF's secure online portal for patients. You can access this report as soon as this occurs, so you may see it before your referring doctor does. 了解更多关于 receiving test results and medical reports in MyChart. If you have questions about a report, please contact your referring doctor.

Rest assured that if your results are abnormal, one of our nurse navigators will reach out to you within two business days to discuss the results and answer your questions. The nurse will also talk to you about any recommended follow-up tests and help you schedule them. It's important to know that in most cases of an abnormal result, additional testing determines that there is no cancer.

To get a CD of your medical images and reports, send a request to the UCSF影像图书馆.
